On January 10, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador, Venezuela, Ukraine and Sudan for 18 months. The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely or, in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries) who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.

It is important to note that employers must re-verify employment eligibility, not just of TPS beneficiaries but other employees as well, before the expiration of temporary work authorization. For information on how to update Form I-9 where the TPS is extended, refer to the following link.
