As many LeadingAge members know firsthand, the future of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is creating significant uncertainty for employees, employers, and communities across the country. Two LeadingAge coalition partners, WorkPermits.US and the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC), will host a virtual webinar on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET that will provide U.S. employers with critical updates regarding the status of work authorization for Salvadoran employees with TPS. As of September 9, El Salvador TPS is still in place, pending the government’s decision on whether to extend the program. Nonetheless, for employers, changes to TPS can have real consequences for workforce stability, employee retention, recruitment, and business operations. It is important for employers to understand what these changes mean, what responsibilities they have, and how they can support their employees with TPS.

During the virtual webinar, expert panelists will cover compliance responsibilities, employer legal obligations, and actionable advocacy steps to protect essential workers. Register here if interested in this topic, and as always, reach out to Associate Director for Immigration Advancement Shane Myers if you have questions or concerns.
