888–897–7781 (TTY 877–875–6028) or 

email USCIS at I-9Central@

uscis.dhs.gov. USCIS accepts calls in 

English, Spanish and many other 

languages. Employees or job applicants 

may also call the U.S. Department of 

Justice, Civil Rights Division, Immigrant 

and Employee Rights Section (IER) 

Worker Hotline at 800–255–7688 (TTY 

800–237–2515) for information 

regarding employment discrimination 

based on citizenship, immigration 

status, or national origin, including 

discrimination related to Form I–9 and 

E-Verify. The IER Worker Hotline 

provides language interpretation in 

numerous languages. 

To comply with the law, employers 

must accept any document or 

combination of documents from the 

Lists of Acceptable Documents if the 

documentation reasonably appears to be 

genuine and to relate to the employee, 

or an acceptable List A, List B, or List 

C receipt as described in the Form I–9 

Instructions. Employers may not require 

extra or additional documentation 

beyond what is required for Form I–9 

completion. Further, employers 

participating in E-Verify who receive an 

E-Verify case result of ‘‘Tentative 

Nonconfirmation’’ (mismatch) must 

promptly inform employees of the 

mismatch and give such employees an 

opportunity to take action to resolve the 

mismatch. A mismatch means that the 

information entered into E-Verify from 

Form I–9 differs from records available 

to DHS. 

Employers may not terminate, 

suspend, delay training, withhold or 

lower pay, or take any adverse action 

against an employee because of a 

mismatch while the case is still pending 

with E-Verify. A Final Nonconfirmation 

(FNC) case result is received when EVerify cannot confirm an employee’s 

employment eligibility. An employer 

may terminate employment based on a 

case result of FNC. Work-authorized 

employees who receive an FNC may call 

USCIS for assistance at 888–897–7781 

(TTY 877–875–6028). For more 

information about E-Verify-related 

discrimination or to report an employer 

for discrimination in the E-Verify 

process based on citizenship, 

immigration status, or national origin, 

contact IER’s Worker Hotline at 800– 

255–7688 (TTY 800–237–2515). 

Additional information about proper 

nondiscriminatory Form I–9 and EVerify procedures is available on the 

IER website at https://www.justice.gov/ 

ier and the USCIS and E-Verify websites 

at https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central and 

https://www.e-verify.gov. 

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

For Federal purposes, if you present 

an automatically extended EAD 

referenced in this Federal Register 

notice, you do not need to show any 

other document, such as a Form I–797C, 

Notice of Action reflecting receipt of a 

Form I–765 EAD renewal application or 

this Federal Register notice, to prove 

that you qualify for this extension. 

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 a TPS 

beneficiary, show you are authorized to 

work based on TPS or other status, or 

that may be used by DHS to determine 

if you have TPS or another immigration 

status. Examples of such documents are: 

• Your current EAD with a TPS 

category code of A–12 or C–19, even if 

your country of birth noted on the EAD 

does not reflect the TPS designated 

country of South Sudan; 

• Your Form I–94, Arrival/Departure 

Record; 

• Your Form I–797, Notice of Action, 

reflecting approval of your Form I–765; 

or 

• Form I–797 or Form I–797C, Notice 

of Action, reflecting approval or receipt 

of a past or current Form I–821, if you 

received one from USCIS. 

Check with the government agency 

requesting documentation regarding 

which document(s) the agency will 

accept. Some state and local government 

agencies use the SAVE program to 

confirm the current immigration status 

of applicants for public benefits. 

While SAVE can verify that an 

individual has TPS, each agency’s 

procedures govern whether they will 

accept an unexpired EAD, Form I–797, 

Form I–797C, or Form I–94, Arrival/ 

Departure Record. If an agency accepts 

the type of TPS-related document you 

present, such as an EAD, the agency 

should accept your automatically 

extended EAD, regardless of the country 

of birth listed on the EAD. It may assist 

the agency if you: 

a. Give the agency a copy of the 

relevant Federal Register notice 

showing the extension of TPS-related 

documentation in addition to your 

recent TPS-related document with your 

A-number, USCIS number, or Form I–94 

number; 

b. Explain that SAVE will be able to 

verify the continuation of your TPS 

using this information; and 

c. Ask the agency to initiate a SAVE 

query with your information and follow 

through with additional verification 

steps, if necessary, to get a final SAVE 

response verifying your TPS. 

You can also ask the agency to look 

for SAVE notices or contact SAVE if 

they have any questions about your 

immigration status or automatic 

extension of TPS-related 

documentation. 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 https://save.uscis.gov/casecheck/. 

CaseCheck is a free service that lets you 

follow the progress of your SAVE 

verification case using your date of birth 

and one immigration identifier number 

(such as A-number, USCIS number or 

Form I–94 number) or Verification Case 

Number. 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 SAVE response is correct, 

the SAVE website, https://

www.uscis.gov/save, has detailed 

information on how to make corrections 

or update your immigration record, 

make an appointment, or submit a 

written request to correct records.
