will accept. Some benefit-granting
agencies use USCIS’ Systematic Alien
Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)
program to confirm the current
immigration status of applicants for
public benefits. While SAVE can verify
when an individual has TPS, each
agency’s procedures govern whether
they will accept an unexpired EAD,
Form I–797, or Form I–94, Arrival/
Departure Record. If an agency accepts
the type of TPS-related document you
are presenting, such as an EAD, the
agency should accept your
automatically extended EAD. You
should:
a. Present the agency with a copy of
the relevant Federal Register notice
showing the extension of TPS-related
documentation in addition to your
recent TPS-related document with your
A-number, USCIS number or Form I–94
number;
b. Explain that SAVE will be able to
verify the continuation of your TPS
using this information; and
c. Ask the agency to initiate a SAVE
query with your information and follow
through with additional verification
steps, if necessary, to get a final SAVE
response verifying your TPS.
You can also ask the agency to look
for SAVE notices or contact SAVE if
they have any questions about your
immigration status or automatic
extension of TPS-related
documentation. 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
save.uscis.gov/casecheck/. CaseCheck is
a free service that lets you follow the
progress of your SAVE verification case
using your date of birth and one
immigration identifier number (Anumber, USCIS number or Form I–94
number) or Verification Case Number. 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
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE
verification and you do not believe the
SAVE 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. More

FMRs, requesting comments on the FY
2021 FMRs, and outlining procedures
for requesting a reevaluation of an area’s
FY 2021 FMRs (85 FR 49666). This
notice revises FY 2021 FMRs for four
areas based on data provided to HUD. In
addition to providing revised FY 2021
FMRs, this notice also provides
responses to the public comments HUD
received on the notice referenced above.
I. Revised FY 2021 FMRs
The FMRs appearing in the following
table supersede the use of the FY 2020
FMRs for the four areas that provided
statistically valid data. The updated FY
2021 FMRs are based on surveys
conducted by the area public housing
agencies (PHAs) and reflect the
estimated 40th percentile rent levels
trended to April 1, 2021.
Stamford-Norwalk, CT, CT HMFA and
Transylvania County, NC also provided
survey data and have continued to use
FY 2020 FMRs while survey data was
evaluated. However, the survey data
provided by these areas could not be
used to revise their FY 2021 FMRs.
Effective April 1, 2021, the FMRs for
these two areas are the FY 2021 FMRs
as originally calculated.
The FMRs for the affected area are
revised as follows:
