Cal-Comp USA (Logansport) Employees Certified for Trade Adjustment Assistance
INDIANAPOLIS
(June 30 2016) – The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently certified that workers who have been or may become totally or partially separated from Cal-Comp USA, formerly Total Electronics, including onsite workers from Numbers and Words, Inc. in Logansport, are eligible to receive services under the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program. The federal ruling applies to workers employed at Cal-Comp USA between June 3, 2015 and June 24, 2018.
The
TAA program is made available to workers who are displaced due to foreign
imports or shifts in production out of the country. It provides benefits
to help unemployed workers prepare for and obtain suitable employment. In addition,
weekly trade re-adjustment allowances may be payable to eligible workers
following the exhaustion of unemployment insurance benefits. Workers may also be
eligible for a variety of reemployment services, job search and relocation
allowances, health insurance premium assistance through the Health Coverage Tax
Credit (HCTC), and training. Workers age 50 or older may be eligible for Reemployment
Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA), a wage subsidy of 50 percent of the
difference between their new salary and old salary, up to $10,000.
Cal-Comp
USA employees are encouraged to contact their local WorkOne Career Center to get
connected with reemployment services available through TAA. Additionally, they
can take advantage of WorkOne services that are available to all Hoosier
jobseekers, including skills assessments, training programs, résumé and
interview preparation, job matching, and much more. A listing of the nearly 90
WorkOne Career Centers located in communities throughout Indiana is available
