Deferred Action 

 

Deferred action is a decision not to deport or not to start deportation proceedings against an undocumented person.  The decision is made by Department of Homeland Security and gives assurances that the beneficiary will not be deported. The decision is valid for a determined period of time and can be renewed.   People who receive Deferred Action can also apply for work authorization and social security number.  

​
