On June 27, Secretary of Homeland Security (“DHS”) Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (“TPS”) for Haiti. The TPS designation for Haiti had been set to expire on August 3, 2025. The termination of TPS for Haiti will take effect on September 2, 2025.
The DHS published the termination notice in the July 1, 2025 Federal Register. The work authorization of Haitian nationals in TPS will now expire on September 2, 2025. DHS adjusted the expiration date of the Employment Authorization Documents (“EAD”) of Haitian nationals currently in TPS to September 2, 2025. The September 2, 2025 expiration date applies to EADs issued under Category A12 or C19 and with expiration dates of February 3, 2026, August 3, 2025, August 3, 2024, June 30, 2024, February 3, 2023, December 31, 2022, October 4, 2021, January 4, 2021, January 2, 2020, July 22, 2019, January 22, 2018, or July 22, 2017.
To update the Form I-9 of a current employee whose EAD is now extended to September 2, 2025, the employer should enter “EAD EXT 09/02/2025” in the Additional Information field in Section 2 of the Form I-9. If the employee’s original Form I-9 was completed on a Form I-9 version that is no longer valid, use the latest version of the Form I-9 to make the notation in Section 2 and attach it to the existing Form I-9.
To work after September 2, 2025, Haitian nationals currently in TPS must present proof of work authorization (List A or List C document from the I-9 Form instructions), other than the current Category A12 or C19 EAD. The employer will use Supplement B of the current version of the Form I-9 when re-verifying employment authorization.
