Changes to TPS Haiti

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows people from certain countries to stay and work in the U.S. if it is not safe for them to return home due to war, disasters, or other emergencies.

A court ruled on July 15, 2025, that TPS Haiti cannot end earlier than February 3, 2026. This policy is in effect, but it could change. A ruling is expected by February 2, 2026, to clarify if TPS Haiti will remain valid while the court case is ongoing.

  • The TPS designation period remains 18 months due to a court order. Your benefits should remain valid through February 3, 2026.
  • If you already have TPS for Haiti under a previous designation, you must have re-registered by August 30, 2024 to continue your benefits through February 3, 2026.

The decision to end TPS for Haiti is still being challenged in court. The case is not finished yet. We do not know what will happen next. Learn how court decisions work.
