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 January 13, 2020, by a One Stop Operator/Partner on
behalf of workers and former workers of AvMed Inc., Claims
Processing Division, a subsidiary of SantaFe Healthcare,
including on-site leased workers from Career Mover & Shaper
Inc., Aerotek Inc., and Robert Half Inc., Gainesville, Florida
(AvMed/Claims Processing-Gainesville). Workers of AvMed/Claims
Processing-Gainesville are engaged in activities related to the
supply of medical claims and physician claims processing
services (claims processing services).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in AvMed/Claims Processing-
Gainesville 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 services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at AvMed/Claims Processing-Gainesville.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AvMed/Claims
Processing-Gainesville, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of claims processing 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 AvMed Inc., Claims Processing Division, a
subsidiary of SantaFe Healthcare, including on-site
leased workers from Career Mover & Shaper Inc., Aerotek
Inc., and Robert Half Inc., Gainesville, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 10, 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 2nd day of November 2020.
