Purpose-built
The only software made for the VA work-study workflow — not a generic time clock, not a fillable PDF.
VA Enrollment Manager certifies enrollment. Spreadsheets track hours. Neither produces a compliant 22-8690 — SWIFT runs the whole loop, from the first shift to the PDF you send through Ask VA.
Features
Everything your office needs for VA work-study
Quarter-Hour Precision
Hours log in VA-standard 0.25-hour increments. SWIFT enforces the notation, totals each day’s shifts, and carries cumulative hours forward — no rounding errors, no manual math.
Contracts & Extensions
Track authorized hours per contract, add extensions and zero-hour extensions, and watch balances against the 1,300-hour annual cap. Forfeit-risk warnings fire before unworked hours are lost.
Per-Entry Approval
Supervisors review and approve each day’s hours, then sign the certification block. Add co-supervisors who can review and approve alongside the primary.
VA 22-8690, Ready to Submit
Approved records fill the official VA Form 22-8690 — bundled AcroForm or your VA-issued template — and freeze a PDF snapshot for your files before you send it through Ask VA.
Audit-Ready by Default
Every entry keeps an approval trail with supervisor initials. Submitted-to-VA tracking and a 5-business-day reminder keep student payments on time.
Role-Based Access
Students see only their own records; supervisors see only their students. Row-Level Security enforces it at the database — built with FERPA and the VA Privacy Act in mind.
