                         SUBCHAPTER I--GENERALLY
 
Sec. 8143. Job Corps enrollees; volunteers in service to America

    (a) Subject to the provisions of this subsection, this subchapter 
applies to an enrollee in the Job Corps, except that compensation for 
disability does not begin to accrue until the day after the date on 
which the injured enrollee is terminated. In administering this 
subchapter for an enrollee covered by this subsection--
        (1) the monthly pay of an enrollee is deemed that received at 
    the minimum rate for GS-2;
        (2) section 8113(a) of this title applies to an enrollee; and
        (3) ``performance of duty'' does not include an act of an 
    enrollee while absent from his assigned post of duty, except while 
    participating in an activity (including an activity while on pass or 
    during travel to or from the post of duty) authorized by or under 
    the direction and supervision of the Job Corps.

    (b) This subchapter applies to a volunteer in service to America who 
receives either a living allowance or a stipend under part A of 
subchapter VIII of chapter 34 of title 42, with respect to that service 
and training, to the same extent as enrollees of the Job Corps under 
subsection (a) of this section. However, for the purpose of the 
computation described in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the monthly 
pay of a volunteer is deemed that received at the minimum rate for GS-5 
of the General Schedule under section 5332 of title 5, United States 
Code.
