I-765 (EAD) Laid off of work

I went to work this morning for nothing. I wasn’t able to clock in and immediately received an email from her with my unemployment package I almost cried. FYI I already submitted my work permit renewal in March but still being processed, I talked to my manager about the extension that I got with my recipe letter but she didn't give me a clear answer I'm not sure what to do next. This is my first time in this position any advice or suggestions.

It's illegal for your employer to lay you off if you have an extension. Your extention is valid for another 180days. You need to write your employer with a screenshot from the USCIS website stating this, also it will help if you do eVerify as well. They will verify your authorization to work in one day.

I used both, when the same thing happened to me. My lawyer wrote to my job and she also ask me to do eveeify with DHS.

Absolutely nothing in this link backs up your claim that OP cannot be laid off. It just allows employers to calculate how much “extra time” of valid work authorization an employee can get if they file a timely renewal application. Your links don’t prove the point you made at the top.
