Federal Court Halts OBBBA TPS Work Authorization Changes
A federal court has temporarily halted changes to TPS work authorization that were set to take effect on July 22. This means employers should not reverify, suspend, or terminate employees based solely on the anticipated loss of TPS-related employment authorization.
What This Means
If an employee was already eligible to rely on a 540-day automatic extension of an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) before the law took effect, that automatic extension remains available while the court’s order is in place.
