The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has commenced the revocation of certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued to individuals whose parole into the United States has been terminated. This includes, but is not limited to, beneficiaries of the CHNV parole processes (Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans). Revocations may be effectuated on an individual basis or applied categorically.
Employers enrolled in E-Verify are advised to review the newly released Status Change Report, which enables identification of existing employees whose employment authorization may have been rescinded pursuant to these DHS actions.
Where an affected individual is identified, employers are required to promptly complete reverification of employment authorization using Form I-9, Supplement B, in accordance with federal requirements. Employers must not accept a revoked EAD, even if the document appears unexpired, and are reminded that continued employment of individuals lacking valid work authorization may result in legal exposure.
For additional guidance, please refer to: New “Status Change Report” for E-Verify Users Following Parole Termination and EAD Revocation | E-Verify
We recommend that employers monitor E-Verify regularly for updates and consult counsel with any case-specific questions regarding reverification procedures or compliance obligations.
