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 25, 2013 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company, Provider
Data Management Team, including on-site leased workers from
Robert Half and Office Overload, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, Saint Louis,
Missouri. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of maintaining demographic data (address, tax ID,
phone numbers, etc.) for health care professionals.
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
Health and Life Insurance Company.

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
on-site leased workers from Robert Half and Office Overload,
including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were
reported through Connecticut General Life Insurance Company,
Saint Louis, Missouri, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of maintaining demographic data (address, tax ID,
phone numbers, etc.) for health care professionals 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 on-site leased
workers from Robert Half and Office Overload, including
workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were
reported through Connecticut General Life Insurance
Company, Saint Louis, Missouri, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 24,
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 2nd day of December, 2013.
