DED for Liberia Extended and Expanded, EADs Extended through June 30, 2024

President Biden has issued a memorandum extending and expanding eligibility for Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Liberians.  The President also directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide eligible Liberians continued work authorization through June 30, 2024.  To this end, eligible Liberians are employment authorized incident to DED.  In addition, USCIS has automatically extended DED-related Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) with a Card Expires date of March 30, 2020, Jan. 10, 2021 or June 30, 2022 and a Category Code of A-11 through June 30, 2024. 

SAVE can verify this employment authorization extension using information from the benefit applicant's EAD or other immigration documentation, even if it is expired on its face.  In some instances, the benefit-granting agency may need to institute additional verification to do so.
