Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act of 2023
This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to provide employment authorization for eligible asylum applicants. Currently, such individuals are not entitled to employment authorization but may be granted such by the Department of Justice.
Such employment authorization is valid until the date on which an applicant is issued a final denial of the application, including administrative and judicial review.
The bill also shortens the waiting period for receiving employment authorization to 30 days from the filing of the asylum application.
