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 April 5, 2013 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Humana Insurance Company, a subsidiary of CareNetwork, Inc.,
ASO Finance Group, De Pere, Wisconsin (ASO Finance). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
health insurance. The subject worker group supplies financial
services in support of the operations of the subject firm. The
subject worker group does not include any on-site leased
workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the financial services
supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at ASO Finance.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Humana Insurance
Company, a subsidiary of CareNetwork, Inc., ASO Finance Group,
De Pere, Wisconsin, 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 Humana Insurance Company, a subsidiary of
CareNetwork, Inc., ASO Finance Group, De Pere, Wisconsin,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 4, 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."
