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 27, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Optum, Finance and Accounting, Claims and Payment
Services, a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare Services, Inc.,
Colorado Springs, Colorado (Optum). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of services related
to maintaining records of accounts receivables, ensuring
accuracy of general ledger accounts, performing periodic
balancing and reporting activities, preparing account
reconciliations, journal entries, and supporting the revenue
process. Workers are not separately identifiable by service
supplied. The 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 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a(n)
services like or directly competitive with the service supplied
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Optum.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Optum, Finance and
Accounting, Claims and Payment 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 Workers of Optum, Finance and Accounting,
Claims and Payment Services, a subsidiary of
UnitedHealthcare Services, Inc., Colorado Springs,
Colorado, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 23, 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.
