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 February 15, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of National Credit Adjusters, LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Fourth Avenue Holdings, LLC, Hutchinson, Kansas
(subject firm). The subject firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of consumer debt collection services.
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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services like
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of National Credit
Adjusters, LLC, Hutchinson, Kansas, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of consumer debt collection
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 National Credit Adjusters, LLC, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Fourth Avenue Holdings, LLC,
Hutchinson, Kansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 12, 2017
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 30th day of March 2018.
