How The Trade Adjustment Assistance Act Affects Employers

The global economy has led to increased outsourcing and off-shoring of American jobs–and foreign imports can be a contributing factor for layoffs of Colorado workers. More businesses than ever may be eligible for Trade Act benefits!

Trade-Related Layoffs and Plant Closings

Our Rapid Response team will work with your company to provide information on Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and the benefits you can receive if your company is certified as trade-affected. Your company, our Rapid Response team, or the workers themselves can file a trade petition with the United States Department of Labor. TAA.

Its benefits are provided at no cost to you as an employer and allow your workers to access an even wider array of services than they would otherwise be eligible for.

If you feel your service or products have been impacted by a foreign country, then fill out this form TAA Think Differently 2022 and send it to GladysFelix-Mendoza@elpasoco.com.
