Following Push by Pingree, King, and Mills, Homeland Security Permanently Extends Eligible Work Permit Authorizations
Dec. 10, 2024"Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is permanently increasing the automatic extension to expiring Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) for eligible non-citizens from 180 days to up to 540 days. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, Senator Angus King, and Governor Janet Mills—who just days ago sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ur Jaddou pushing for this change—welcomed the news on Tuesday and released the following joint statement:
We are thankful to Secretary Mayorkas and the Biden-Harris Administration for taking this important step to increase the automatic extension period for work permits—a change we have long advocated for. This is great news—not only for new Mainers and their families, but also for the many businesses that rely on this skilled workforce and for the communities they help enrich."

Dec. 9, 2024"Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, Senator Angus King, and Governor Janet Mills are leading a push to codify the temporary rule granting a 540-day automatic extension to expiring work authorizations for immigrants and asylum seekers. This comes as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) continues to work through an extensive backlog in work permit processing, putting hundreds of thousands at risk of losing their ability to work and support themselves."
