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 December 24, 2015, by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of New York Life Insurance Company, Division of
Technology and Finance, Sleepy Hollow, New York (New York Life-
Technology and Finance). The workers’ firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of life insurance, retirement
income, investments and long-term care insurance services.
Workers of New York Life-Technology and Finance are engaged in
activities related to the supply of insurance and financial
services. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Cognizant, Computer Sciences Corporation, IBM,
Nextsource, Syntal, Sungard, and Trianz.
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 New York Life-Technology and
Finance 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 the services supplied by the subject workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at New
York Life-Technology and Finance.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of New York Life-Technology
and Finance, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of insurance and 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 New York Life Insurance Company, Division of
Technology and Finance, including on-site leased workers
from Cognizant, Computer Sciences Corporation, IBM,
Nextsource, Syntal, Sungard, and Trianz, Sleepy Hollow, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 11, 2014, 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 13th day of May 2016.
