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 May 28, 2013 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Financial Services Group, Inc., SI&T/CTO Service Desk,
Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-82,766), Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., SI&T/CTO Service Desk, San Antonio,
Texas (TA-W-82,766A), Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.,
SI&T/CTO Service Desk, Lake Mary, Florida (TA-W-82,766B), and
Hartford Financial Services, Inc., SI&T/CTO Service Desk,
Windsor, Connecticut (TA-W-82,766C). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of financial
services (insurance protection and investment products).
Specifically, the workers are performing systems integration
and technology activities in support of the firm's financial
services. TA-W-82,766 includes on-site leased workers from
Iconma, LLC, TCA Consulting Group, Kforce, Inc., Sagersoft
Inc., TEKsystems, Inc., Synergy Services Corp., PDS Technical
Services, Inc., Talus Partners, LLC, and Corporate Systems
Associates. TA-W-82,766A includes on-site leased workers from
COMSYS Information Technology Services, Iconma, LLC, Synergy
Services Corp., and iTech Solutions.
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 The
Hartford.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., SI&T/CTO Service Desk, including on-site
leased workers from Iconma, LLC, TCA Consulting Group, Kforce,
Inc., Sagersoft Inc., TEKsystems, Inc., Synergy Services
Corp., PDS Technical Services, Inc., Talus Partners, LLC, and
Corporate Systems Associates, Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-
82,766), Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., SI&T/CTO
Service Desk, including on-site leased workers from COMSYS
Information Technology Services, Iconma, LLC, Synergy Services
Corp., and iTech Solutions San Antonio, Texas (TA-W-82,766A),
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., SI&T/CTO Service
Desk, Lake Mary, Florida (TA-W-82,766B), and Hartford
Financial Services, Inc., SI&T/CTO Service Desk, Windsor,
Connecticut (TA-W-82,766C), who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of financial services, specifically
systems integration and technology workers, 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.,
SI&T/CTO Service Desk, including on-site leased workers
from Iconma, LLC, TCA Consulting Group, Kforce, Inc.,

became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 10, 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 1st day of July, 2013.
