On July 1, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted new guidance on termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work authorization for certain TPS recipients affected by a court order.
The guidance, which states that work authorization is extended to July 10, 2026, for eligible TPS beneficiaries as outlined in each notice, includes Burma, Ethiopia, Haiti, Somalia, Syria, South Sudan and Yemen.
USCIS said that when completing the Expiration Date (if any) fields on Form I-9, the employer should input “as per court order” in Section 1 and “July 10, 2026” in Section 2, along with a note in the additional information box.
