UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS

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 27, 2019, by three workers on behalf of
workers of Ernst & Young LLP, Unemployment Insurance Claims,
Dallas, Texas ("Ernst & Young UI"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of accounting,
audit, tax, and business advisory services. The subject worker
group includes workers specifically in the Unemployment
Insurance Claims team, which provides clients with
administrative support services in processing unemployment
claims and other related documentation.
The worker group was certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under petition number TA-W-92,774.
That certification will expire on April 13, 2019.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioners and 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Ernst & Young UI.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ernst & Young LLP,
Unemployment Insurance Claims, Dallas, Texas, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of administrative support
services in processing unemployment claims 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 Ernst & Young LLP, Unemployment Insurance
Claims, Dallas, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 14, 2019,
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 April 2019.
