Due to the EAD production delays, USCIS announced that they will allow individuals to use their EAD approval notices (Form I-797) as valid work authorization. This applies to individuals with approval notices dated from 12/1/2019 to 8/20/2020. These individuals will be allowed to use their approval notices as valid work authorization until 12/1/2020, at which time they will be required to provide their employers with new evidence of work authorization.
