On September 8, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an automatic continuation of TPS designations for El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua and Sudan.

• Temporary Protected Status coverage as such continues indefinitely for beneficiaries from these 6 countries.
• The continuation removes the current EAD expiration date of October 4, 2021 and extends it to December 31, 2022.
• Those covered by TPS from all of the above countries, except Haiti, are not required to reapply for TPS or EAD renewal.
• Those Haitians who qualify for TPS (initial or renewal), must apply for Haiti TPS before the end of the newly designated registration period set for February 3, 2023.
