khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Note Regarding Federal, State, and
Local Government Agencies (Such as
Departments of Motor Vehicles)
For Federal purposes, individuals
approved for TPS may show their Form
I–797, Notice of Action, indicating
approval of their Form I–821
application, or their A12 or C19 EAD to
prove that they have TPS. Individuals
may present their A11 EAD to show
they are covered by DED. However,
while Federal Government agencies
must follow the guidelines laid out by
the Federal Government, state and local
government agencies establish their own
rules and guidelines when granting
certain benefits. Each state may have
different laws, requirements, and
determinations about what documents
you need to provide to prove eligibility
for certain benefits. Whether you are
applying for a Federal, state, or local
government benefit, you may need to
provide the government agency with
documents that show you are covered
under TPS and/or DED and/or show you
are authorized to work based on TPS
and/or DED. Examples of such
documents are:
• Your new EAD with a category code
of A12 or C19 for TPS, or A11 for DED;
• A copy of your Form I–797, the
notice of approval, for a current Form I–
821, if you received one from USCIS; or
• Any other relevant DHS-issued
document that indicates your
immigration status or authorization to
be in the United States, or that may be
used by DHS to determine whether you
have such status or authorization to
remain in the United States.
Check with the government agency
regarding which document(s) the agency
will accept.
Some benefit-granting agencies use
the SAVE program to confirm the
current immigration status of applicants
for public benefits. SAVE can verify
when an individual has TPS or DED
based on the documents above. In most
cases, SAVE provides an automated
electronic response to benefit-granting
agencies within seconds, but
occasionally verification can be delayed.
You can check the status of your SAVE
verification by using CaseCheck at
uscis.gov/save/save-casecheck, then by
clicking the ‘‘Check Your Case’’ button.
CaseCheck is a free service that lets you
follow the progress of your SAVE
verification using your date of birth and
SAVE verification case number or an
immigration identifier number that you
provided to the benefit-granting agency.
If an agency has denied your application
based solely or in part on a SAVE
response, the agency must offer you the
opportunity to appeal the decision in

Jkt 253001
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted on or will act on a SAVE
verification and you do not believe the
response is correct, find detailed
information on how to make corrections
or update your immigration record,
make an appointment, or submit a
written request to correct records on the
SAVE website at www.uscis.gov/save.
