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 28, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Aquity Solutions, LLC, including workers whose
wages were reported under MModal Services, LLC, Cary, North
Carolina ("Aquity Solutions, LLC"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of documentation
solution services for healthcare systems and practices
overloaded by medical data entry and management tasks. The
subject worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of medical transcription services. The worker group
comprises of remote 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 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 worker group separations at Aquity
Solutions, LLC.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Aquity Solutions,
LLC, including workers whose wages were reported under MModal
Services, LLC, Cary, North Carolina, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of medical transcription
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 Aquity Solutions, LLC, including workers
whose wages were reported through MModal Services, LLC,
Cary, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 27, 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 10th day of April 2020.
