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 20, 2016 on behalf of workers of Healthsmart
Benefit Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Healthsmart Holdings,
Inc., Healthsmart Holdings II, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from 20/20 Staffing, Addison Group, Randstad, YAYA
Consulting, Atlas Corporation, Express Services, Kelly
Services, Mountain Bound Inc., Fenwick Technologies Inc.,
Aerotek Professional Services, and TEKSYSTEMS, Charleston,
West Virginia (Healthsmart Benefit Solutions). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of third
party administration of health plans.
During the investigation, the Department carefully reviewed
information obtained by the petitioner(s) and 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 the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the administration services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Healthsmart Benefit Solutions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Healthsmart Benefit
Solutions, Charleston, West Virginia, 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 Healthsmart Benefit Solutions, Inc., a
subsidiary of Healthsmart Holdings, Inc., Healthsmart
Holdings II, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
20/20 Staffing, Addison Group, Randstad, YAYA Consulting,
Atlas Corporation, Express Services, Kelly Services,
Mountain Bound Inc., Fenwick Technologies Inc., Aerotek
Professional Services, and TEKSYSTEMS, Charleston, West
Virginia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 20, 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 19th day of January 2017.
