The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) and E-Verify programs, under U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), recently updated guidance on Employment Authorization Document (EAD) validity in light of court orders affecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several countries, superseding earlier notices on the terminations of TPS for those countries.
- SAVE guidance was updated for South Sudan (April 10, 2026), Ethiopia (April 7, 2026), Burma (March 27, 2026), Somalia (March 27, 2026), Haiti (March 25, 2026), and Syria (March 24, 2026).
- E-Verify guidance was updated for South Sudan (April 10, 2026), Ethiopia (April 7, 2026), Burma (March 27, 2026), Somalia (March 27, 2026), Haiti (March 25, 2026), and Syria (March 24, 2026).
Affected TPS beneficiaries generally remain in valid status, and their EADs remain valid, subject to the applicable court orders and the country-specific guidance on the relevant USCIS TPS pages.
