INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKER FROM ALL ABOUT PEOPLE
HAWTHORNE, NEW YORK

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 October 24, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Matrix Absence Management, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Delphi Financial Group, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from All About People, Hawthorne, New York
("Matrix Absence Management, Inc."). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of administration
services for managing claims under short and long-term
disability plans and leaves of absence requested by clients'
employees. However, the worker group, the subject of the
investigation, is specifically engaged in activities related
to the supply of claims services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 Matrix
Absence Management, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Matrix Absence
Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delphi
Financial Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from All
About People, Hawthorne, New York, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of claims 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 Matrix Absence Management, Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Delphi Financial Group, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from All About People,
Hawthorne, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 20, 2016
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 7th day of November 2017.
