Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on November 23, 2009, applicable to
workers of Apria Healthcare, including on-site leased workers
from Corestaff, Cromwell, Connecticut. The workers are engaged
in activities related to the supply of information technology
and patient billing and collection services.
The Department’s notice was published in the Federal
Register on January 25, 2010 (75 FR 3938). The certification
was amended on February 26, 2010 to include on-site leased
workers from Ultimate Staffing (Roth Staffing Companies) and
Aerotek (TA-W 71,054C). The notice of amended certifications
was published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2010 (75 FR
11922).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
shows that workers leased from Corporate Employment Resources,
Inc., d/b/a Corestaff and Leafstone, were employed on-site at
the above-mentioned locations of Apria Healthcare. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the operational control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Corporate
Employment Resources, Inc., d/b/a Corestaff and Leafstone,
working on-site at the above mentioned locations of Apria
Healthcare.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-TA-W-71,054 and TA-

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 June 8, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Apria Healthcare, Foothill Ranch, California (TA-W-
71,054), Apria Healthcare, Indianapolis, Indiana (TA-W-71,054A),
Apria Healthcare, Machesney Park, Illinois (TA-W-71,054B), Apria
Healthcare, Cromwell, Connecticut (TA-W-71,054C), Apria
Healthcare, Tampa, Florida (TA-W-71,054D), Apria Healthcare,
Minster, Ohio (TA-W-71,054E), Apria Healthcare, St. Louis,
Missouri (TA-W-71,054F), and Apria Healthcare, San Diego,
California (TA-W-71,054G) (Apria Healthcare). Workers are
engaged in information technology and patient billing and
collection services.
The subject firm also leased workers from Corestaff during
the period under investigation.
The investigation revealed that workers of Apria Healthcare
are engaged in employment related to information technology
and patient billing and collection services meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the firm have been separated from
2007 to 2008, and during the period of January through June
2009 when compared to the same time period in 2008.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm is
acquiring from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with those supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
information technology and patient billing and collection
services by Apria Healthcare contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Apria Healthcare, Foothill Ranch,
California, Apria Healthcare, Indianapolis, Indiana, Apria
Healthcare, Machesney Park, Illinois, Apria Healthcare,
Cromwell, Connecticut, Apria Healthcare, Tampa, Florida, Apria
Healthcare, Minster, Ohio, Apria Healthcare, St. Louis,
Missouri, and Apria Healthcare, San Diego, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Apria Healthcare,
Foothill Ranch, California, Apria Healthcare, Indianapolis,
Indiana, Apria Healthcare, Machesney Park, Illinois, Apria
Healthcare, Cromwell, Connecticut, Apria Healthcare, Tampa,
Florida, Apria Healthcare, Minster, Ohio, Apria Healthcare, St.
Louis, Missouri, and Apria Healthcare, San Diego, California,
including on-site leased workers from Corestaff, who are engaged
in employment related to information technology and patient
billing and collection services 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 Apria Healthcare, Foothill Ranch,
California (TA-W-71,054), Apria Healthcare, Indianapolis,
Indiana (TA-W-71,054A), Apria Healthcare, Machesney Park,
Illinois (TA-W-71,054B), Apria Healthcare, Cromwell,
Connecticut (TA-W-71,054C), Apria Healthcare, Tampa,
Florida (TA-W-71,054D), Apria Healthcare, Minster, Ohio
(TA-W-71,054E), Apria Healthcare, St. Louis, Missouri (TA-
W-71,054F), and Apria Healthcare, San Diego, California
(TA-W-71,054G), including on-site leased workers from
Corestaff, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 5, 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.”
