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 October 4, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., IT/Project
Management, Simsbury, Hartford and Windsor, Connecticut. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of financial services.

Connecticut site include: the Corporate/Finance/Controllers/
Accounting Operations group, covered under TA-W-82,049; the
Operations/Personal Lines/Support Services Division, covered

under TA-W-81,309; the Enterprise Information

W-74,396; and the IT/Group Benefits Division, covered under

the Consumer Markets/Underwriting Operations, covered under
TA-W-81,473; and the Operations/Commercial Markets/Group
Benefits/STAT BRC group, covered under TA-W-82,055.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., IT/Project
Management, Simsbury, Hartford and Windsor, Connecticut.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., IT/Project Management, Simsbury
Connecticut (TA-W-82,050), Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-
82,050A), and Windsor, Connecticut (TA-W-82,050B), who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of financial
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 Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.,
IT/Project Management, Simsbury Connecticut (TA-W-
82,050), Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-82,050A), and
Windsor, Connecticut (TA-W-82,050B), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
October 3, 2011 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 17th day of October, 2012.
