HR 9502 United States House · 118th Congress

Work Permit Reform Act

This bill modifies work permit rules for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries. It ensures work authorization automatically extends for the same duration as a TPS designation when a foreign country’s TPS status is renewed, provided the beneficiary files a renewal request during the designated period. The Department of Homeland Security must update its website and the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system to reflect these automatic extensions. The bill directly affects TPS holders who rely on work permits while their country’s TPS designation remains active.
