Q: I reapplied for tps Haiti but not the ead. Can I still work on it without reapplying for the ead to use the extension?
They extended it late January but I only sent in the tps application. So do I have to reapply for the ead to use the extension or is the extension and automatic thing and I can still work without needing a new one?

A: If you have already been granted an EAD (Employment Authorization Document) based on TPS Haiti, then you may continue to work with that EAD through the end of the automatic extension period. However, if you did not apply for a new EAD when you reapplied for TPS, then you will not be able to work beyond the validity period of your current EAD. If you want to continue working beyond the expiration date of your current EAD, you will need to apply for a new EAD as soon as possible. It's important to note that you cannot work with an expired EAD, even if you have an application for a new EAD pending.
