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 July 7, 2010 on behalf of workers of Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Administrative
Services Only (ASO) Billing Division, including on-site leased
workers from Robert Half/Accountemps and Bender Consulting
Services, Inc., Mason, Ohio (TA-W-74,351) and Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Accounts
Payable Division, including on-site leased workers from Robert
Half/Accountemps, Cincinnati, Ohio (TA-W-74,351A). The workers
are engaged in activities related to the supply of financial
transactional services (TA-W-74,351) and accounts payable
services (TA-W-74,351A) related to health insurance.
The investigation revealed that workers of Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of financial transactional and accounts payable 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 financial transactional and accounts
payable services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
financial transactional and accounts payable services from India
by Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc. 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 Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Administrative
Services Only (ASO) Billing Division, including on-site leased
workers from Robert Half/Accountemps and Bender Consulting
Services, Inc., Mason, Ohio (TA-W-74,351) and Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Accounts
Payable Division, including on-site leased workers from Robert
Half/Accountemps, Cincinnati, Ohio (TA-W-74,351A), who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of financial
transactional and accounts payable 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 Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., a
Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Administrative Services Only
(ASO) Billing Division, including on-site leased workers
from Robert Half/Accountemps and Bender Consulting
Services, Inc., Mason, Ohio (TA-W-74,351) and Anthem
Insurance Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary,
Accounts Payable Division, including on-site leased
workers from Robert Half/Accountemps, Cincinnati, Ohio
(TA-W-74,351A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 1, 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 21st day of July, 2010
