requirements of Section 222(a) of the Act must be met.

component parts produced by such firm have increased;
(D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have
increased; and
(4) The increase in imports contributed importantly to such
workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in the
sales or production of such firm; or
II. Section 222(a)(2)(B) all of the following must be satisfied:
(1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2) accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm described
in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

for worker adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility
requirements of Section 222(f) of the Act must be met.
