Guys,
This is for all F1-Students.. Just to be in safe side. Please go through this link BioMed had posted https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2015/11/09/2015-28360/employment-authorization-for-nepali-f-1-students-experiencing-severe-economic-hardship-as-a-direct?utm_campaign=subscription+mailing+list&utm_medium=email&utm_source=federalregister.gov

here it says

How does a student who has received approval for employment authorization under TPS then apply for authorization to take a reduced course load under this notice?

There is no further application process. The student only needs to demonstrate to the DSO the economic hardship caused by the damage caused by the April 25, 2015 earthquake in Nepal and receive the DSO recommendation in SEVIS. The DSO's recommendation in SEVIS will enable the student with TPS to reduce his or her course load without violating his or her F status. USCIS will not issue any other EAD.


Since this information is legit.
I guess its better to get DSO's recommendation in SEVIS.

Hope this clears all the doubts F1-students have.
