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 February 17, 2010 on behalf of workers of Provisional,
Office Team, Volt and Aerotek working on-site at Molina
Healthcare, Inc., Medical Affairs-Credentialing Group.,
Spokane, Washington. The workers provide credentialing
services and are leased workers. They are not separately
identifiable by function.
The investigation revealed that workers of Provisional,
Office Team, Volt and Aerotek who are engaged in activities
related to credentialing services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers in the workers' firms have become totally or
partially separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers'
services have been shifted to a foreign country the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services
supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
credentialing services from India by Molina Healthcare, Inc.,
Medical Affairs-Credentialing Group., Spokane, Washington
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Provisional, Office Team, Volt and Aerotek.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Provisional, Office
Team, Volt and Aerotek working on-site at Molina Healthcare,
Inc., Medical Affairs-Credentialing Group., Spokane,
Washington, who are engaged in employment related to
credentialing 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 Provisional, Office Team, Volt and Aerotek
working on-site at Molina Healthcare, Inc., Medical
Affairs-Credentialing Group., Spokane, Washington, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 29, 2009, 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 15th day of July, 2010
