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 26, 2018, by a state workforce office on behalf
of the workers of Allstate Insurance Company, Enterprise
Services division, Imaging Department, Lincoln, Nebraska
("Allstate Insurance").
The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of imagining solution services.
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 Allstate Insurance 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 services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Allstate Insurance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Allstate Insurance
Company, Enterprise Services division, Imaging Department,
Lincoln, Nebraska who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of imagining solution 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 Allstate Insurance Company, Enterprise
Services division, Imaging Department, Lincoln, Nebraska,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after December 26, 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 11th day of February 2019.
