QUALIFIED BILLING AND COLLECTIONS RMC, LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MODERNHR
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

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 March 23, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Qualified Billing and Collections RMC, LLC, Los
Angeles, California (Qualified Billing and Collections). The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from ModernHR. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
billing and collection services for workers' compensation
doctors.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, and 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 billing and collection
services like or directly competitive with services supplied by
the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Qualified Billing and Collections.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Qualified Billing and
Collections RMC, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
ModernHR, Los Angeles, California, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of billing and 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:
"Workers of Qualified Billing and Collections RMC, LLC,
including on-site leased workers from ModernHR, Los
Angeles, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 21, 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 29th day of May 2018.
