The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finally provided tools and guidance for employers trying to navigate the termination of the parole programs for citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV). As a reminder, the DHS announced on March 25, 2025, that the humanitarian parole programs for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela were terminated and individuals had to leave the United States by April 24. Their work authorization would also terminate on April 24. A federal judge in Boston stayed the termination notice. Then, on May 30, the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the stay. The DHS said it would terminate parole status and revoke Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), and on June 12, began sending emails to the CHNV parolees that their parole status was terminated and work authorization revoked. However, the DHS did not notify the employers of the impacted parolees. Employers struggled to identify who in their work force might be impacted and exactly how to approach the employees.
On June 20, the DHS advised employers of a tool in E-Verify to run a report to identify EADs that have been revoked. Employers can search for revoked EADs and generate a report that shows case number, revocation date, and A-Number of any employee whose EAD has been revoked. If an employee’s EAD has been revoked, the employer must re-verify the employee’s Form I-9 using Supplement B. If the employee is unable to present a valid List A or List C document establishing authorization to work, the employer must terminate the individual’s employment. The revoked EAD is no longer proof of work authorization.
