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 2, 2020 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
the workers of Anthem, Inc., Commercial Claims & Adjustments,
COO-CSBD, Execution "“ Local Experience Department, Indianapolis,
Indiana hereafter referred as ("Anthem, Inc.").
The worker group is comprised of remote workers reporting
from Indiana and surrounding states. Workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of benefit inquiry and claims
processing services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Anthem, Inc. 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 Anthem, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Anthem, Inc.,
Commercial Claims & Adjustments, COO-CSBD, Execution "“ Local
Experience Department, Indianapolis, Indiana, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of benefit inquiry and 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 Anthem, Inc., Commercial Claims &
Adjustments, COO-CSBD, Execution "“ Local Experience
Department, Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 1, 2019

of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
