§ 244.5 Temporary treatment benefits
for eligible aliens.
(a) Prior to the registration period.
Prior to the registration period established
by DHS, a national of a foreign
state designated by DHS shall be afforded
temporary treatment benefits
upon the filing, after the effective date
of such designation, of a completed application
for Temporary Protected Status
which establishes the alien’s prima
facie eligibility for benefits under section
244 of the Act. This application
may be filed without fee. Temporary
treatment benefits, if granted, shall
terminate unless the registration fee is
paid or a waiver is sought within the
first thirty days of the registration period
designated by DHS. If the registration
fee is paid or a waiver is sought
within such thirty day period, temporary
treatment benefits shall continue
until terminated under §244.13.
The denial of temporary treatment
benefits prior to the registration period
designated by DHS shall be without
prejudice to the filing of an application
for Temporary Protected Status during
such registration period
