A bill to amend the worker adjustment assistance provisions of the Trade Act of 1974 in order to repeal the requirement that workers may not be covered under certification of eligibility to apply for such assistance unless they are totally or partially separated from adversely affected employment within one year before the date of petitioning for such certification.

Summary

Amends the Trade Act of 1974 to allow a worker to be certified eligible for adjustment assistance if such worker's last separation from the firm occurred after the date specified in the certification on which separation began or threatened to begin in the adversely affected employment, rather than allowing such certification if the separation occurred within one year of the date of the petition for certification.
