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 22, 2010 on behalf of workers of Time
Insurance Company (Assurant Health), IT, Miami, Florida. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
information technology services. The group contains on-site
leased workers from CapGemeni.
The investigation revealed that workers of Assurant Health
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
information technology services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Assurant Health have become totally
or partially separated or are threatened with total or partial
separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Assurant Health to a foreign country in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the
Assurant Health.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of the
supply of information technology services to India by Assurant
Health contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Assurant Health.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Time Insurance
Company (Assurant Health), IT, including on-site leased
workers from CapGemeni, Miami, Florida, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of information technology
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 Time Insurance Company (Assurant Health),
IT, including on-site leased workers from CapGemeni,
Miami, Florida, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 18, 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 28th day of January, 2011.
