What Are Renewed DACA Grants?
Renewed DACA grants provide young immigrants with the opportunity to maintain their temporary protected status. This status allows them to live, work, and study in the United States without the fear of deportation. Each approved DACA renewal comes with a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD), often referred to as a work permit.
The Importance of EADs
Employment Authorization Documents are crucial for DACA recipients. These documents are valid for the duration of the renewed DACA period, usually two years. For individuals participating in DACA, having a current EAD is essential to continue legally working in the U.S. Employers are required to accept these renewed EADs as proof of work authorization, ensuring recipients are able to secure employment without complications.
Automatic Extensions for Timely Renewals
If a renewal application is filed on time, recipients may benefit from an automatic extension of their employment authorization for a limited time beyond the expiration of their prior EAD. This means that as long as their renewal is approved and valid, DACA recipients can continue to work without interruptions, thereby maintaining their financial stability and contributing to their communities.
