What it does
The tracker counts the unemployment days used on F-1 post-completion OPT and STEM OPT from the dates you enter, shows how many of the 90 or 150 days are left, and gives the last day you can be without work. The guides cover the rules around the count: what counts as employment, the STEM OPT extension, reporting, and the limit.
Where the rules come from
The day counting follows the Study in the States Unemployment Counter page. The limits, reporting rules and cap-gap text follow 8 CFR 214.2(f), and the OPT hours and application timing follow the USCIS OPT page. Each guide shows the date it was last checked against these pages.
