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 12, 2013 on behalf of workers of Cigna Health
and Life Insurance Company, Provider Data Management Team,
including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were
reported through Connecticut General Life Insurance Company,
Tampa, Florida. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of maintaining demographic data for
health care professionals.
The worker group includes workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages were reported through Connecticut General
Life Insurance Company, Tampa, Florida. Workers' wages may be
reported under FEIN 59-1031071 or 06-0303370. The worker group
also includes tele-workers who reported to the Tampa, Florida
location.
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 Cigna.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cigna Health and Life
Insurance Company, Provider Data Management Team, including
workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported
through Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, Tampa,
Florida, who are engaged in activities related to maintaining
demographic data, 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 Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company,
Provider Data Management Team, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, Tampa,
Florida, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 11, 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 17th day of May, 2013.
