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 September 14, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Anthem, Inc., IT
Application and Development Department, Commercial Claims
Department, Enrollment and Billing Department, Norfolk, Virginia
(Anthem-IT-Norfolk). The subject worker group (Anthem-IT-
Norfolk) is engaged in activities related to providing
information technology (IT) service and support, and includes on-
site leased workers from Amerit, Anchor Point Technology
Resources, Apex Systems, Inc., BCForward Payroll, Beacon Hill
Technologies, Bucher & Christian Consulting, Inc., CEI, Diverse
Staffing, Fahrenheit Technology, Geneva Technical Services,
ICONMA, Insight Global, Judge Medical Staffing, Mindlance, Inc.,
Modis, Inc., Moser Consulting, Inc., PinPoint IT Services, LLC,
Populus, Professional Management Enterprises, Pyramid Consulting,
Inc., Randstad North America, LP, SLAIT, SmartIT Staffing, Inc.,
STONE Resource, Strategic Staffing Solutions, Strategic Systems,
Swoon Staffing, TEK Systems, Inc. and United Global Technologies
(UGT).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Anthem-IT-Norfolk 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 subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Anthem-IT-Norfolk.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Anthem-IT-Norfolk, who
are engaged in activities related to providing information
technology (IT) service and support, 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 Anthem, Inc., IT Application and Development
Department, Commercial Claims Department, Enrollment and
Billing Department, including on-site leased workers from
Amerit, Anchor Point Technology Resources, Apex Systems,
Inc., BCForward Payroll, Beacon Hill Technologies, Bucher &
Christian Consulting, Inc., CEI, Diverse Staffing, Fahrenheit
Technology, Geneva Technical Services, ICONMA, Insight
Global, Judge Medical Staffing, Mindlance, Inc., Modis, Inc.,
Moser Consulting, Inc., PinPoint IT Services, LLC, Populus,
Professional Management Enterprises, Pyramid Consulting,
Inc., Randstad North America, LP, SLAIT, SmartIT Staffing,
Inc., STONE Resource, Strategic Staffing Solutions, Strategic
Systems, Swoon Staffing, TEK Systems, Inc. and United Global
Technologies (UGT), Norfolk, Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 13,
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 24th day of May 2019.
