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 June 10, 2010, applicable to workers of Hartford
Financial Services Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing
and Production Center Support, Aurora, Illinois and Hartford
Financial Services Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing
and Production Center Support, Syracuse, New York. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2010 (75 FR
38137). The notice was amended on July 14, 2010 to include on-
site leased workers from Beeline. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on July 26, 2010 (75 FR 43557)
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to medical bill processing
services.
New information shows that workers leased from Rose
International, Aerotek, Professional Staffing Services, Vantage
Staffing, Volt Services Group, Adecco, Synergy Services Corp.,
and PDS Technical Services, Inc. were employed on-site at the
Aurora, Illinois and Syracuse, New York locations of Hartford
Financial Services Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing
and Production Center Support. The Department has determined
that these workers were sufficiently under the 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 Rose International,
Aerotek, Professional Staffing Services, Vantage Staffing, Volt
Services Group, Adecco, Synergy Services Corp., and PDS Technical
Services, Inc. working on-site at the Aurora, Illinois and
Syracuse, New York locations of Hartford Financial Services
Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing and Production

through two years from the date of certification, are

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 March 11, 2010 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on behalf of
workers of Hartford Financial Services, Group, Incorporated,
Medical Bill Processing and Production Center Support, Aurora,
Illinois and Syracuse, New York (Hartford Financial Services).
The Production Center Support workers support the medical bill
processing services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hartford Financial
Services and Production Center Support who are engaged in
activities related to medical bill processing services meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers in the workers’ firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
medical bill processing services from India and the Philippines by
Hartford Financial Services contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Hartford Financial Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hartford Financial
Services, Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing and
Production Center Support, Aurora, Illinois and Syracuse, New
York, who are engaged in employment related to medical bill
processing services and production support 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 Hartford Financial Services, Group,
Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing and Production Center
Support, Aurora, Illinois (TA-W-73,682) and Hartford
Financial Services, Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill
Processing and Production Center Support, Syracuse, New York
(TA-W-73,682A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 10, 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 10th day of June, 2010.

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 March 11, 2010 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on behalf of
workers of Hartford Financial Services, Group, Incorporated,
Medical Bill Processing and Production Center Support, Aurora,
Illinois and Syracuse, New York (Hartford Financial Services).
The Production Center Support workers support the medical bill
processing services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hartford Financial
Services and Production Center Support who are engaged in
activities related to medical bill processing services meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers in the workers’ firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
medical bill processing services from India and the Philippines by
Hartford Financial Services contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Hartford Financial Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hartford Financial
Services, Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing and
Production Center Support, Aurora, Illinois and Syracuse, New
York, who are engaged in employment related to medical bill
processing services and production support 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 Hartford Financial Services, Group,
Incorporated, Medical Bill Processing and Production Center
Support, Aurora, Illinois (TA-W-73,682) and Hartford
Financial Services, Group, Incorporated, Medical Bill
Processing and Production Center Support, Syracuse, New York

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
