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 April 9, 2019 on behalf of workers and former worker of
Highmark Inc., a subsidiary of Highmark Health, Benefit Coding
Division, Customer Implementation Analyst Unit, Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,712) and Highmark Inc., a subsidiary of
Highmark Health, Benefit Coding Division, Customer
Implementation Analyst Unit, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
94,712A)(hereafter collectively referred to as "Highmark-
Customer Implementation Analyst Unit"). Workers within
Highmark-Customer Implementation Analyst are engaged in
activities related to the supply of coding services related to
customer group health benefits contracts.
Workers of Highmark Inc., a subsidiary of Highmark Health,
Benefit Coding Division who are not part of the Customer
Implementation Analyst Unit at either Camp Hill, Pennsylvania
or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania are excluded from the subject
worker groups. The subject worker groups do not include on-site
leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petition.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Highmark-Customer
Implementation Analyst Unit 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
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Highmark-Customer Implementation Analyst Unit.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Highmark Inc.,
Benefit Coding Division, Customer Implementation Analyst Unit,
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,712) and Highmark Inc.,
Benefit Coding Division, Customer Implementation Analyst Unit,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of coding 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 Highmark Inc., a subsidiary of Highmark
Health, Benefit Coding Division, Customer Implementation
Analyst Unit, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,712) and
Highmark Inc., a subsidiary of Highmark Health, Benefit
Coding Division, Customer Implementation Analyst Unit,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,712A) who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April 5,
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 26th day of June 2019.
