TPS Work Permits Are Expiring in Stages: The Late-July Dates, Explained

For thousands of families in South Florida, the most pressing immigration question this month is very concrete: is my work permit still valid, and until when? Here is where things stand, calmly and precisely — with the caution that these dates have changed more than once in July and may change again.

The short answer

According to the government's most recent notices, Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) held by many Temporary Protected Status beneficiaries — issued under categories A12 or C19 — currently remain valid as follows:

• July 24, 2026 — Haiti, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen
• July 27, 2026 — Burma (Myanmar)
• July 30, 2026 — Ethiopia and South Sudan

Each of these dates comes from court-ordered interim relief in separate lawsuits — not from a new TPS extension — and the dates have been moving roughly weekly. Because the situation is changing quickly, treat any specific date — including the ones in this post — as a snapshot. The authoritative, current information is on the USCIS Temporary Protected Status pages, which the government has been updating as courts act.

How we got here

In June, the Supreme Court decided Mullin v. Doe (No. 25-1083, decided June 25, 2026), a case about the government's authority to end TPS designations, ruling against the beneficiaries who had challenged the terminations for Haiti and Syria. That decision did not, by itself, switch off anyone's status overnight. Orders from several federal district courts — including a February 2, 2026 order in Miot v. Trump (D.D.C.) that stayed the Haiti termination, and separate orders covering the other countries — remain in place until those courts take the procedural steps required to align their injunctions with the Supreme Court's ruling.

The current EAD validity dates are the product of that wind-down: short, court-ordered periods of continued validity while the litigation concludes.

What this means in practice

An EAD that remains valid under these orders continues to prove work authorization through the stated date. Employers verify current status through the government's published guidance, and the agencies have issued updates specifically for that purpose.

What comes after the stated dates depends on court action and government implementation that have not fully unfolded as of this writing. It would not be accurate — in either direction — to promise an extension or to assume none is possible.

If TPS has been part of your status

The end of a TPS designation raises fact-specific questions: what other relief a person may qualify for, how time in TPS interacts with other applications, and what risks and options exist in each individual case. Those questions do not have one-size-fits-all answers, and this is a moment when individualized legal advice matters. A consultation with an immigration attorney — before a deadline arrives, when possible — is the most reliable way to understand your specific options.
