On July 8, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (“TPS”) for Honduras and Nicaragua. The termination of TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua will take effect on September 8, 2025.
The Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) published the termination notices in the July 8, 2025 Federal Register. The Employment Authorization Documents (“EAD”) of Honduran and Nicaraguan nationals currently in TPS are automatically extended to September 8, 2025. The September 8, 2025 automatic extension applies to EADs issued to Hondurans under Category A12 or C19 and with an expiration date of January 5, 2018, July 5, 2018, January 5, 2020, January 4, 2021, October 4, 2021, December 31, 2022, June 30, 2024, or July 5, 2025. The September 8, 2025 automatic extension applies to EADs issued to Nicaraguans under Category A12 or C19 and with an expiration date of January 5, 2018, January 5, 2019, April 2, 2019, January 2, 2020, January 4, 2021, October 4, 2021, December 31, 2022, June 30, 2024, or July 5, 2025.
To update the Form I-9 of a current employee whose EAD is now extended to September 8, 2025, the employer should enter “EAD EXT 09/08/2025” in the Additional Information field in Section 2 of the Form I-9. If the employee’s original Form I-9 was completed on a Form I-9 version that is no longer valid, use the latest version of the Form I-9 to make the notation in Section 2 and attach it to the existing Form I-9.
To work after September 8, 2025, Honduran and Nicaraguan nationals currently in TPS must present proof of work authorization (List A or List C document from the I-9 Form instructions), other than the current Category A12 or C19 EAD. The employer will use Supplement B of the current version of the Form I-9 when re-verifying employment authorization.
