Pabian Law Client Alert: TPS For Ukrainians Extended Beyond Today

The Department of Homeland Security has postponed its final decision on Ukraine's Temporary Protected Status designation, which was scheduled to expire on October 19, 2026. Ukrainian TPS holders will retain their protections and employment authorization for the time being, though the government has not specified the duration of these continued protections.

Pabian Law Clients and Friends,

I hope all is well. We have some good news for those that employ Ukrainian nationals in the United States on Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Based on credible reporting, the status will be extended beyond today.

As background, Ukraine’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation was scheduled to expire today, October 19, 2026. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) moments ago published notice on its website that Ukrainian TPS holders will retain their protections for now while the government postpones its final decision. As of the date of this alert, DHS has not publicly specified how long these protections will remain in place; however, the website notice does say that Ukrainians keep their valid employment authorization for the time being.
