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 March 11, 2020 by a State Workforce official on behalf
of workers and former workers of Imperial Health LLP, Lake
Charles, Louisiana (Imperial Health). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of healthcare
services. The affected workers are engaged in activates related
to the supply of revenue cycle/billing services. The worker
group does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a) (1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Imperial Health 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 revenue cycle/billing
services supplied by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Imperial Health.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Imperial Health, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of revenue
cycle/billing 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 Imperial Health LLP, Lake Charles,
Louisiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 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 26th day of March 2020.
