This guidance Update on Termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti supersedes the message posted on July 24, 2026.
After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem determined that Haiti no longer met the conditions for its designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). See Termination of the Designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status, 90 Fed. Reg 54733 (Nov. 28, 2025). On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a favorable decision concerning TPS terminations. Mullin v. Doe, 609 U.S. ____ (2026). The Haiti TPS designation is terminated, effective July 27, 2026.
Forms I-766, Employment Authorization Document, (EADs) with category A12 or C19 issued to TPS Haiti beneficiaries are no longer valid. Employers completing Form I-9 must reverify TPS Haiti beneficiaries who presented these EADs and cannot continue to employ a person who does not provide proof of current employment authorization.
Find more details about this termination on the archived TPS Haiti webpage and instructions for completing Form I-9 on the I-9 Central TPS webpage.
