DHS to Flag Invalidated TPS-Based EADs in E-Verify Reports

DHS will begin including Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) invalidated due to expired Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in E-Verify’s Status Change reports. This follows the termination of TPS for several countries and the elimination of the 540-day extension for timely filed EAD renewals. Employers must audit their I-9 records for affected workers, cease reliance on invalid EADs, and re-verify employment eligibility using acceptable documentation. Failure to act may result in I-9 violations and potential penalties.
