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 September 16, 2016 by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Chubb & Son, a Division of Federal
Insurance Company, Premium Accounting Service Center (PASC)
Division, a subsidiary of Chubb Limited, Warren, New Jersey
(Chubb-PASC). Workers of Chubb-PASC are engaged in activities
related to the supply of internal office support services
(accounting services) for insurance affiliates. The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly
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 Chubb-PASC 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 services
like or directly competitive with the internal office support
services supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Chubb-PASC.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chubb-PASC, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of internal home
office support, 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 Chubb & Son, a Division of Federal
Insurance Company, Premium Accounting Service Center (PASC)
Division, a subsidiary of Chubb Limited, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services, Warren, New Jersey,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 15, 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 11th day of November 2016.
