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 July 28, 2016 by a state official on behalf of workers at
Word and Brown Insurance Administrators, Inc., Information
Technology Support Services Division, including on-site leased
workers from 4th Source, AbleForce, Apex Systems, Asentex, Atmecs,
Inc., Atrilogy, ITStaffResources, JetVin, Keste, Magenic,
Neudesic, PlanetOne Communications, Randstad Technologies, Red8,
SDL Enterprise Technologies, Inc., Technossus, and Insight Global,
Orange, California (Word and Brown-Information Technology Support
Services Division). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to health insurance services. Workers of Word and Brown-
Information Technology Support Services Division are engaged in
activities related to the supply of information technology support
services.
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 Word and Brown-Information
Technology Support Services Division 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 information technology support services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Word and Brown-Information
Technology Support Services Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Word and Brown-
Information Technology Support Services Division, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of information technology
support 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 Word and Brown Insurance Administrators, Inc.,
Information Technology Support Services Division, including
on-site leased workers from 4th Source, AbleForce, Apex
Systems, Asentex, Atmecs, Inc., Atrilogy, ITStaffResources,
JetVin, Keste, Magenic, Neudesic, PlanetOne Communications,
Randstad Technologies, Red8, SDL Enterprise Technologies,
Inc., Technossus, and Insight Global, Orange, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 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 23rd day of September 2016.
