In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on November 23, 2009, applicable to workers of Apria Healthcare, including on-site leased workers from Corestaff, Cromwell, Connecticut. The workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of information technology and patient billing and collection services.

The Department's notice was published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2010 (75 FR 3938). The certification was amended on February 26, 2010 to include on-site leased workers from Ultimate Staffing (Roth Staffing Companies) and Aerotek (TA-W 71,054C). The notice of amended certifications was published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2010 (75 FR 11922).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information shows that workers leased from Corporate Employment Resources, Inc., d/b/a Corestaff and Leafstone, were employed on-site at the above-mentioned locations of Apria Healthcare. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the operational control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers leased from Corporate Employment Resources, Inc., d/b/a Corestaff and Leafstone, working on-site at the above mentioned locations of Apria Healthcare.
