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 January 12, 2011, applicable to workers of Wellpoint, Inc., Enterprise Provider Data Management Team, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and Jacobsen Group, Indianapolis, Indiana. The workers provide health insurance transactional services. The notice was published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4731).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the firm.
