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 27, 2016 by State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Cambia Health Solutions, Claims Processing and Sales
Department, including on-site leased workers from Virtual
Communication, Medford, Oregon. The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of insurance claims
processing and sales operations.
Workers of Cambia Health Solutions, Medford, Oregon were
previously certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance under TA-W-82,937B that certification expired on
August 7, 2015. Workers of Virtual Communication were not
covered under the previous certification.
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 Cambia
Health Solutions, Claims Processing and Sales Department,
Medford, Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cambia Health
Solutions, Claims Processing and Sales Department, including
on-site leased workers from Virtual Communication, Medford,
Oregon, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
insurance claims processing and sales operations 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 Cambia Health Solutions, Claims Processing
and Sales Department, Medford, Oregon (TA-W-91,389), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 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."
AND
"All workers of Virtual Communication, working on-site at
Cambia Health Solutions, Cambia Health Solutions, Claims
Processing and Sales Department, Medford, Oregon (TA-W-
91,389A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 26, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 13th day of May 2016.
