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 18, 2012 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., a
Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, BlueCard Home Claims Operations
Division, Cape Girardeau, Missouri (TA-W-82,094), Anthem
Insurance Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Group
Claims Operations Division, Springfield, Missouri (TA-W-
82,094A), Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc.
subsidiary, Group Claims Operations Division, Platteville,
Wisconsin (TA-W-82,094B), and Anthem Insurance Companies,
Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Enrollment and Billing
Division, Cape Girardeau, Missouri (TA-W-82,094C). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of health insurance and related services.
Workers of Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc. at the
locations identified above were previously certified under
petition TA-W-73,949. That certification expired on June 8,
2012.
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
Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of health insurance and related 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 Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., a
Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, BlueCard Home Claims
Operations Division, Cape Girardeau, Missouri (TA-W-
82,094), Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint,
Inc. subsidiary, Group Claims Operations Division,
Springfield, Missouri (TA-W-82,094A), Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc., a Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Group
Claims Operations Division, Platteville, Wisconsin (TA-W-
82,094B), and Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc., a
Wellpoint, Inc. subsidiary, Enrollment and Billing
Division, Cape Girardeau, Missouri (TA-W-82,094C), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 9, 2012 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 15th day of November, 2012.
