The most recent data says October 1, 2026. However EU will announce launch date several months in advance.
Citizens of other nations who are resident aliens of the United States must have a valid passport from their country and must carry with them the United States “green card” to re-enter the United States.
The name on the passport and the name on the airline reservation must be the same to avoid confusion when airlines check passports upon departures.

This facilitates replacement of passports in case of loss or theft, and is necessary for verification of name, age and citizenship when traveling internationally.
