# TPS UPDATE! Termination of TPS Status for Haitians, Syrians, Somalians, South Sudanese, Yemeni, Ethiopians, and Burmese Written on July 13, 2026. *Tag(s):* [Immigration](https://wimlaw.com/index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id%5B0%5D=51:immigration), [Temporary Protected Status (TPS)](https://wimlaw.com/index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id%5B0%5D=174:tps), [2026 Alerts](https://wimlaw.com/index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id%5B0%5D=213:2026-alerts) **On July 10, 2026, E-Verify notified employers that work authorization is extended temporarily through July 24, 2026, for workers from the following countries with TPS status: HAITI.** The July 24, 2026, date is a temporary date and may be extended, but any extension will not be for a long period of time. Any extension will be consistent with the completion of the normal judicial process for making the judgment of the Supreme Court final. On July 10, 2026, E-Verify notified employers that work authorization is extended temporarily through July 17, 2026, for workers from the following countries with TPS status: SYRIA, SOMALIA, SOUTH SUDAN, YEMEN, ETHIOPIA, AND BURMA. The July 17, 2026, date is a temporary date and may be extended, but any extension will not be for a long period of time. Any extension will be consistent with the completion of the normal judicial process for making the judgment of the Supreme Court final. The best source of information about the expiration date of work authorization is the website [Temporary Protected Status | USCIS](https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status) and the specific country page. As of this writing, those webpages have not stated the final date when work authorization expires. An alternative is to monitor the E-Verify Status Reports daily for the next couple of weeks to determine whether the termination of TPS status applies to any of your employees. Please remember that some employees who originally had TPS status may have obtained work authorization by changing to another status. Changing to another status also must be accompanied by work authorization for employment to continue uninterrupted. It is not sufficient to merely have applied for another status or for work authorization. The new status and/or work authorization must have been granted. Employers should not terminate workers who are believed to have TPS status before inquiring about whether the workers have obtained another lawful status with work authorization. Employers should not terminate employees with TPS status from the countries listed above until the last day of work authorization because of potential discrimination liability and because further court action is possible for some of the countries listed above, but the writer doubts there will be any further litigation with respect to Haiti and Syria. Employers also can refer TPS workers to competent immigration counsel who can determine whether the workers are entitled to another lawful status, such as marriage to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, asylum, etc. Questions?
