Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 9, 2021 / Notices 13581 

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

For Federal purposes, individuals 

approved for TPS may show their Form 

I–797, Notice of Action, indicating 

approval of their Form I–821 

application, or their A12 or C19 EAD to 

prove that they have TPS. Individuals 

may present their A11 EAD to show 

they are covered by DED. However, 

while Federal Government agencies 

must follow the guidelines laid out by 

the Federal Government, state and local 

government agencies establish their own 

rules and guidelines when granting 

certain benefits. Each state may have 

different laws, requirements, and 

determinations about what documents 

you need to provide to prove eligibility 

for certain benefits. Whether you are 

applying for a Federal, state, or local 

government benefit, you may need to 

provide the government agency with 

documents that show you are covered 

under TPS and/or DED and/or show you 

are authorized to work based on TPS 

and/or DED. Examples of such 

documents are: 

• Your new EAD with a category code 

of A12 or C19 for TPS, or A11 for DED; 

• A copy of your Form I–797, the 

notice of approval, for a current Form I– 

821, if you received one from USCIS; or 

• Any other relevant DHS-issued 

document that indicates your 

immigration status or authorization to 

be in the United States, or that may be 

used by DHS to determine whether you 

have such status or authorization to 

remain in the United States. 

Check with the government agency 

regarding which document(s) the agency 

will accept. 

Some benefit-granting agencies use 

the SAVE program to confirm the 

current immigration status of applicants 

for public benefits. SAVE can verify 

when an individual has TPS or DED 

based on the documents above. In most 

cases, SAVE provides an automated 

electronic response to benefit-granting 

agencies within seconds, but 

occasionally verification can be delayed. 

You can check the status of your SAVE 

verification by using CaseCheck at 

uscis.gov/save/save-casecheck, then by 

clicking the ‘‘Check Your Case’’ button. 

CaseCheck is a free service that lets you 

follow the progress of your SAVE 

verification using your date of birth and 

SAVE verification case number or an 

immigration identifier number that you 

provided to the benefit-granting agency. 

If an agency has denied your application 

based solely or in part on a SAVE 

response, the agency must offer you the 

opportunity to appeal the decision in 

accordance with the agency’s 

procedures. If the agency has received 

and acted on or will act on a SAVE 

verification and you do not believe the 

response is correct, find detailed 

information on how to make corrections 

or update your immigration record, 

make an appointment, or submit a 

written request to correct records on the 

SAVE website at www.uscis.gov/save.
