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 November 10, 2010, by a One-Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of The MEGA Life & Health Inc. Co., a subsidiary of
HealthMarkets, Inc., North Richland Hills, Texas. The workers
provide insurance claims processing. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Computer Solutions and Software
International, Inc., Dell Service Sales, Emdeon Business
Services, KFORCE, Microsoft, Pariveda Solutions, Inc., Perot
Systems Corp., Premium Credit Corp, Socrates, Inc., Sogeti USA,
LLC, The Z Group, Inc., Verizon, and Viant Payments Systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of The MEGA Life &
Health Inc. Co., who are engaged in employment related to
insurance claims processing, meet the criteria for certification.

Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during 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 workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services from a foreign country contributed importantly to worker
group separations at The MEGA Life & Health Inc. Co.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The MEGA Life & Health
Inc. CO., a subsidiary of HealthMarkets, Inc., North Richland
Hills, Texas, who are engaged in employment related to insurance
claims processing, 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 The MEGA Life & Health Inc. CO., a
subsidiary of HealthMarkets, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Computer Solutions and Software International,
Inc., Dell Service Sales, Emdeon Business Services, KFORCE,
Microsoft, Pariveda Solutions, Inc., Perot Systems Corp.,
Premium Credit Corp, Socrates, Inc., Sogeti USA, LLC, The Z
Group, Inc., Verizon, and Viant Payments Systems, North
Richland Hills, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 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 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.”
