EAD is not require to renew if you have been working for the same company, HR just need to update I9 base on Federal register.

BUT, sometimes, if you are in need of financial transactions, bank requires you to have physical proof of immigration status, at that time, your expired EAD won't work. You need a valid any Federal ID. Driver license DON'T SHOW your immigration status.

In MARYLAND, if you need a driver license valid for Federal purpose, then you MUST SHOW UNEXPIRED EAD CARD, GREEN CARD ANYTHING WITH PHOTO ON IT. SO EXPIRED EAD WON'T WORK.

TPS HOLDER can buy property, but must show Federal ID with picture, which is valid EAD, expired EAD won't work.
