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 July 5, 2019, by three workers on behalf of workers of
TMG Health, A Cognizant Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Cognizant Domestic Holdings Corporation, which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Kelly
Services, Amarillo, Texas. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of business process solutions
and services for government health care programs. The subject
location in Amarillo, Texas primarily supplies member and
provider call center services for the firm's clients and their
members.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioners and 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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to the worker group separations at TMG
Health, A Cognizant Company, Amarillo, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TMG Health, A
Cognizant Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cognizant
Domestic Holdings Corporation, which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Kelly
Services, Amarillo, Texas, who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of member and provider call center 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 TMG Health, A Cognizant Company, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Cognizant Domestic Holdings
Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek and Kelly Services,
Amarillo, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 3, 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 15th day of August 2019.
