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 19, 2010 on behalf of workers of Travelers
Indemnity Company, Claims Services, Workers' Compensation
Subrogation, Wyomissing, Pennsylvania (Travelers). The workers
are engaged in activities related to insurance claims
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Travelers, who
are engaged in activities related to insurance claims
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have become totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift to a foreign country by Travelers in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by Claims Services.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of insurance
claims services contributed importantly to worker group
separations in Claims Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Travelers Indemnity
Company, Claims Services, Workers' Compensation Subrogation,
Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related
to insurance claims 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 Travelers Indemnity Company, Claims
Services, Workers' Compensation Subrogation, Wyomissing,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 13, 2009, 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."
