Please see our response to your question. wee QUESTION: CPC-E sends letters that state: Please attach this letter to your present work permit Number as proof that you are authorized to continue working under the same conditions as your original work permit until ------------- or until a decision is made on your application, whichever is first But anyone familiar with Section 186(u) knows that in ftct, one can keep working until a decision is made on the work permit application, whether or not that decision comes first. May L ask why you keep sending this letters? RESPONSE: The interim work authorization letter was put in place as a result ofa public policy issued in May 2020. Its purpose is to provide clients with information on their right to work while their application is being processed. ‘The expiration date in the letter provides a timeline, which prevents clients from using the interim work authorization indefinitely. The letter’s expiration date is being extended to 365 days this spring, which will provide enough time for the Department to process these applications. wee Thank you kindly, [requester] 000068
