Harman Professional (Elkhart) Workers Eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance
INDIANAPOLIS (October 18, 2016) – The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently certified that workers who have been or may become totally or partially separated from Harman Professional, a subsidiary of Harman International, Elkhart, including on-site workers from Pro Resources Staffing Services are eligible to receive services under the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program. The federal ruling applies to workers employed at Harman Professional between September 22, 2015 and October 11, 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.
