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 September 11, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of EmblemHealth, LLC, Claims
Processing Administration, New York, New York (TA-W-96,184) and
EmblemHealth, LLC, Claims Processing Administration, Albany, New
York (TA-W-96,184A) (hereafter collectively referred to as
"EmblemHealth/Claims Processing - New York & Albany"). Workers of
EmblemHealth/Claims Processing - New York & Albany are engaged in
activities related to the supply of processing medical, dental,
and hospital claims for members of EmblemHealth (claims processing
services).
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 EmblemHealth/Claims Processing -
New York & Albany 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 those services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at EmblemHealth/Claims Processing - New York & Albany.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of EmblemHealth/Claims
Processing - New York & Albany, 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 EmblemHealth, LLC, Claims Processing
Administration, New York, New York (TA-W-96,184) and
EmblemHealth, LLC, Claims Processing Administration, Albany,
New York (TA-W-96,184A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 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 27th day of November 2020.
