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 October 27, 2010 on behalf of workers of Humana
Insurance Company, a division of CareNetwork, Inc., Network
Provider Operations Division, 300 North Madison Street, Green
Bay, Wisconsin. The workers provide health insurance-related
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Humana Insurance
Company, a division of CareNetwork, Inc., Network Provider
Operations Division, 300 North Madison Street, Green Bay,
Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to health
insurance services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been totally or partially separated or threatened
with total or partial separation over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the Network Provider
Operations Division.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services contributed importantly to worker group separations
at 300 North Madison Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Humana Insurance
Company, a division of CareNetwork, Inc., Network Provider
Operations Division, 300 North Madison Street, Green Bay,
Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to health
insurance 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 Humana Insurance Company, a division of
CareNetwork, Inc., Network Provider Operations Division,
300 North Madison Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 22, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of January, 2011
