USCIS Temporarily Extends TPS Work Authorization for Haiti and Syria
Key Point
- Ongoing litigation and related court proceedings have resulted in USCIS temporarily extending employment authorization for certain TPS beneficiaries from Haiti and Syria through July 10, 2026.
TPS Work Authorization for Haiti and Syria
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and E-Verify have temporarily extended employment authorization (EADs) for certain TPS beneficiaries from Haiti and Syria, who are automatically extended through July 10, 2026.
The temporary extension follows a June 25, 2026, U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows the federal government to move forward with terminating TPS for both countries while lower courts take the necessary procedural steps to implement the ruling.
Syria TPS Guidance
DHS previously terminated Syria’s TPS designation, with benefits scheduled to end on November 21, 2025. However, litigation concerning the TPS termination remains pending, and USCIS has temporarily extended employment authorization for eligible beneficiaries through July 10, 2026. E-Verify instructs employers to use July 10, 2026, as the expiration date when completing applicable Form I-9 and E-Verify records for affected TPS beneficiaries.
Haiti TPS Guidance
Haiti’s TPS designation was scheduled to terminate on February 3, 2026.

Employers should follow updated Form I-9 and E-Verify instructions, including the use of July 10, 2026, as the applicable expiration date for affected TPS beneficiaries.
