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 worker
petition filed on June 9, 2009, on behalf of workers of
Wellpoint, Inc., also known as Wellpoint Companies, Inc., doing
business as Anthem Health Plans Of Virginia, Inc., Information
Technology Division, Richmond, Virginia (hereafter referred to
as "Wellpoint, Inc., Information Technology Division"). The
workers provide information technology services pertaining to
health insurance.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Bender Consulting Services, Medpro Personnel, Repucare,
Knowledge Services, Kelly Services, Robert Half International,
Jacobsen Group, Perot Systems Corporation, Populus Group,
Pinnacle Technical Resources, Inc., Indecon, Inc., Teksystems,
Inc., Computer Enterprises, Inc., and Iconma LLC.
The investigation revealed that workers of Wellpoint, Inc.,
Information Technology Division, who are engaged in employment
related to the supply of information technology services, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at Wellpoint, Inc., Information
Technology Division was totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to foreign countries services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers at
Wellpoint, Inc., Information Technology Division.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
information technology services to Malaysia and Panama by the
subject firm contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Richmond, Virginia facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wellpoint, Inc.,
Information Technology Division, Richmond, Virginia, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of information
technology 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 Wellpoint, Inc., also known as Wellpoint
Companies, Inc., doing business as Anthem Health Plans Of
Virginia, Inc., Information Technology Division,
including on-site leased workers from Bender Consulting
Services, Medpro Personnel, Repucare, Knowledge Services,
Kelly Services, Robert Half International, Jacobsen Group,
Perot Systems Corporation, Populus Group, Pinnacle
Technical Resources, Inc., Indecon, Inc., Teksystems, Inc.,
Computer Enterprises, Inc., and Iconma LLC., Richmond,
Virginia, 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 the 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."
