Haiti TPS Extension Reduced from 18 Months to 12 Months – Form I-9 Impacts

The Department of Homeland Security recently announced that Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation will expire on Aug. 3, 2025 rather than the previously scheduled expiration date of February 3, 2026.  

Importantly, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has also  announced that it will  not provide updated Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) with the new Aug. 3, 2025, expiration date.  USCIS instructs employers to enter the amended expiration date of Aug. 3, 2025, in the Additional Information field in Section 2 of the Form I-9 and initial and date the correction.

What you need to do

·      ADP TotalSource’s system will not automatically reflect the updated TPS expiration date of Aug.  3, 2025. You must take action to add the updated EAD expiration date to the Additional Information field of the Form I-9. See instructions below.  

·      Employers with employees impacted by this announcement should update Forms I-9 to reflect the new Aug.  3, 2025, expiration date using the instructions above.   Employees who are impacted would have presented an EAD listing Haiti as the employee’s country of origin, the category as A12 or C19 (the categories for TPS) and with a Feb. 3, 2026, expiration date.

·       These impacted employees must also be re-verified using an alternative, acceptable I-9 document by Aug. 3, 2025. A list of acceptable documents is available at Form I-9 Acceptable Documents | USCIS.
