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 January 11, 2016 by the State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of United Healthcare Services, Inc., Optum Technology
Software Engineering Services Division, Data Department, a
subsidiary of United Healthcare Services, Inc., Hartford,
Connecticut (United Healthcare Services-Data Department).
Workers of United Healthcare Services-Data Department (subject
worker group) are engaged in activities related to the supply of
software development services. The subject worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
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 United Healthcare Services-Data
Department 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a(n) service like
or directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
United Healthcare Services-Data Department.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United Healthcare
Services-Data Department, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of software development 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 United Healthcare Services, Inc., Optum
Technology Software Engineering Services Division, Data
Department, a subsidiary of United Healthcare Services,
Inc., Hartford, Connecticut, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 8, 2015,
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."
