1.
A proposed petition was sent to the United Stated Department of Labor for their consideration.
2.
An investigation was initiated by the US Department of Labor and a determination was made to
certify your employer as a trade-impacted company.
3.
Once your company was certified, the US Department of Labor assigned an Impact Date, a
Certification Date, and an Expiration Date to your company’s petition.
4.
Your company then provided the State of Illinois with an official list of workers whose layoff date or
“threatened with layoff” date falls between the Impact date and the Expiration date of the
petition.
Establishing eligibility is the first step to accessing Trade services. To be eligible for Trade services, the
following criteria must be met:
Be a member of a worker group certified by the U.S. Department of Labor as eligible for services; and
Be partially or totally separated from adversely affected employment within the certification period, or
have a documented future separation date (between the Impact date and the Expiration date); and
Be separated (or if applicable by appropriate TAA law, have a notice that the adversely affected worker will
be separated) due to a “lack of work” attributable to the employer between the Impact date and
Expiration date.
