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 29, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers and former workers of PayPal, Inc., a subsidiary of
PayPal Holdings, Inc., Hunt Valley, Maryland (PayPal). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
services supporting electronic money transfers.
"Firm" includes an individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation (including a development
corporation), business trust, cooperative, trustee in
bankruptcy, and receiver under decree of any court, as well as
any predecessor, successor-in-interest firm, or affiliated firm
controlled or substantially beneficially owned by substantially
the same persons. 29 CFR 90.2
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 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the electronic money transfer
services supplied by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at PayPal, Hunt Valley, Maryland.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PayPal, Hunt Valley,
Maryland, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
electronic money transfer 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 PayPal, Inc., a subsidiary of PayPal
Holdings, Inc., Hunt Valley, Maryland, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April
26, 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 25th day of June 2019.
