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 May 26, 2010, applicable to workers of Health Net,
Inc., Claims Processing Group and Systems Configuration
Organization, including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services in Shelton, Connecticut (TA-W-73,889) and Matawan, New
Jersey (TA-W-73,889A). The Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on June 16, 2010 (75 FR 34174).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of Health Net, Inc., Claims
Processing Group and Systems Configuration Organization, Shelton,
Connecticut (TA-W-73,889). The subject workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of claims processing and system
configuration services.
New information shows that workers from Cognizant Technology
Solutions were employed on-site at the Shelton, Connecticut
location of Health Net, Inc., Claims Processing Group and Systems
Configuration Organization and provided application support and
information technology services supporting the subject firm.
The Department has determined that on-site workers from
Cognizant Technology Solutions were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be covered by this certification.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers from Cognizant Technology
Solutions working on-site at the Shelton, Connecticut location of
Health Net, Inc., Claims Processing Group and Systems
Configuration Organization.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,889 is hereby
issued as follows:









"All workers of Health Net, Inc., Claims Processing
Group and Systems Configuration Organization, including
on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and
Cognizant Technology Solutions, Shelton, Connecticut
(TA-W-73,889) and Health Net, Inc., Claims Processing
Group and Systems Configuration Organization, including
on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Matawan,
New Jersey (TA-W-73,889A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April
7, 2009 through May 26, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of August, 2010.

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 April 9, 2010 on behalf of workers of Health Net, Inc.,
Claims Processing Group and Systems Configuration Organization,
Shelton, Connecticut (TA-W-73,889) and Health Net, Inc., Claims
Processing Group and Systems Configuration Organization, Matawan,
New Jersey (TA-W-73,889A), including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services (Health Net). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of claims processing and system configuration
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Health Net who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of claims processing
and system configuration services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers have been totally or partially
separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the claims processing and system configuration
services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of claims
processing and system configuration services from India by Health
Net contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Health Net, Inc.,
Claims Processing Group and Systems Configuration Organization,
Shelton, Connecticut (TA-W-73,889) and Health Net, Inc., Claims
Processing Group and Systems Configuration Organization, Matawan,
New Jersey (TA-W-73,889A), including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of claims processing and system configuration 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 Health Net, Inc., Claims Processing Group
and Systems Configuration Organization, Shelton, Connecticut
(TA-W-73,889) and Health Net, Inc., Claims Processing Group
and Systems Configuration Organization, Matawan, New Jersey
(TA-W-73,889A), including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 7, 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 26th day of May, 2010
