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 4, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers and former workers of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company,
Professional Collaboration Team (PCT), a subsidiary of Liberty
Mutual Group Inc., Tigard, Oregon (hereafter referred to as
"Liberty Mutual Insurance Company-PCT"). Workers of Liberty
Mutual Insurance Company-PCT are engaged in activities related
to the supply of insurance assistance services, data entry
services, and document generation services. The subject worker
group does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Liberty Mutual Insurance
Company-PCT 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 insurance assistance
services, data entry services, and document generation services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company-
PCT.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Liberty Mutual
Insurance Company-PCT, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of insurance assistance services, data entry
services, and document generation 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 Liberty Mutual Insurance Company,
Professional Collaboration Team (PCT), a subsidiary of
Liberty Mutual Group Inc., Tigard, Oregon, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 1, 2018 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 June 2019.
