Immigration and Naturalization Service officials want to make sure that employers know that Salvadorans working under an asylum program have permission to work until Sept. 30.
The Deferred Enforced Departure program, which granted temporary asylum to Salvadorans, ended last month, said INS spokesman Rico Cabrera.
The program was canceled because the political and human rights situations in El Salvador have improved.
But Salvadorans with work authorization papers will not be required to leave the country for another nine months, Cabrera said.
