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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 1, 2012 by company official on behalf of workers
of WellPoint, Inc., Enrollment and Billing East Division,
Albany, New York (TA-W-81,672), WellPoint, Inc., Enrollment
and Billing East Division, Melville, New York (TA-W-81,672A),
WellPoint, Inc., Enrollment and Billing East Division,
Middletown, New York (TA-W-81,672B), WellPoint, Inc.,
Enrollment and Billing East Division, Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-
81,672C), WellPoint, Inc., Enrollment and Billing East
Division, Columbus, Georgia (TA-W-81,672D), WellPoint, Inc.,
Enrollment and Billing East Division, Richmond, Virginia (TA-
W-81,672E), WellPoint, Inc., Enrollment and Billing East
Division, Virginia Beach, Virginia (TA-W-81,672F),
("Wellpoint"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of health insurance services.
TA-W-81,672 includes WellPoint work at home associates
from New York and New Jersey reporting to Albany, New York.
TA-W-81,672C includes WellPoint work at home associates from
Alabama and Georgia reporting to Atlanta, Georgia. TA-W-

associates from Virginia reporting to Richmond, Virginia (TA-
W-81,672E) and Virginia Beach, Virginia (TA-W-81,672F).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at WellPoint.

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of WellPoint, Inc.,
Enrollment and Billing East Division, including WellPoint work
