    The Department of Labor issued summaries of decisions regarding whether workers can apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) under the Trade Act of 1974. These decisions are based on several criteria. Workers from firms that have either increased imports, shifted production to foreign countries, or become suppliers to other firms deemed eligible for assistance, could be certified to receive TAA. In some cases, investigations revealed that the criteria for assistance were not met, while in others, the determinations to terminate investigations were due to withdrawn petitions or coverage under existing certifications.

    The government decides if workers from certain companies can get help because their jobs were affected by their company buying more stuff from other countries or moving work overseas. Sometimes, they say yes, and sometimes no, depending on the rules they have.
