Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 27, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Anthem Insurance Companies, a subsidiary of WellPoint Inc,
Individual Enrollment and Billing Department, 13550 Triton
Park Blvd, Louisville, Kentucky. The workers provide enrollment
and billing services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Anthem Insurance
Companies who are engaged in employment related to enrollment
and billing services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment for the
Individual Enrollment and Billing Department declined
absolutely on March 31, 2009.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
billing and enrollment services to the Philippines by Anthem
Insurance Companies contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Anthem Insurance Companies.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Anthem Insurance
Companies Inc, a subsidiary of WellPoint Inc, Enrollment and
Billing Division, 13550 Triton Park Blvd, Louisville, Kentucky,
who are engaged in employment related to transactional front-end
keying and enrollment application functions meet the worker
group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Anthem Insurance Companies Inc, a
subsidiary of WellPoint Inc, Individual Enrollment and
Billing Department, 13550 Triton Park Blvd, Louisville,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 27, 2008, through two years from
the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on date of certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of October, 2009
