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.,
Operations/Commercial/Premium Audit/Reviewers, San Antonio,
Texas and Clinton, New York. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of financial services.
Workers in the Operations/Commercial/Premium Audit/ Reviewers
group are separately identifiable from workers in the
Operations/Commercial Markets/Biss/Claim Coding Division, who
are covered under TA-W-81,877.
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 the services supplied by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.,
Operations/ Commercial/Premium Audit/Reviewers, San Antonio,
Texas and Clinton, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the Hartford Financial Services
Group, Inc., Operations/Commercial/Premium Audit/Reviewers,
San Antonio, Texas, (TA-W-82,051), and Clinton, New York, (TA-
W-82,051A), 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.,
Operations/Commercial/Premium Audit/Reviewers, San
Antonio, Texas (TA-W-82,051), and Clinton, New York (TA-
W-82,051A), 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 19th day of October, 2012.
