What is TPS?

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.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government can move forward with ending TPS for Haiti and Syria. This decision will likely affect TPS for other countries, including whether TPS is extended after the current end date.

Important

Who can have TPS for El Salvador?

If you already have TPS for El Salvador under a previous designation, you must have re-registered by March 18, 2025 to continue your benefits through September 9, 2026.

You must have met the following requirements:

  • Be a national of El Salvador or a person without nationality who lived in El Salvador for a long time before arriving in the USA
  • Lived only in the U.S. since Feb. 13, 2001
  • Did not take trips outside the U.S. after March 9, 2001 that might impact eligibility

When do work permits expire?

Work permits are available to people with TPS and are known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). It shows employers that you are allowed to work in the USA.

If you have a current TPS-based work permit, your work authorization is valid through September 9, 2026.
