TPS Haiti
Definition
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Haiti, a U.S. immigration program granting eligible Haitian nationals temporary protection from deportation and work authorization due to unsafe conditions in their home country, such as natural disasters or civil unrest.
As of February 3, 2026, the TPS for Haiti has been terminated by the Secretary of Homeland Security, ending benefits for affected individuals.
