Trade Adjustment Assistance
Layoffs Caused by Foreign Trade
The Rapid Response team will work with your company to provide information on the Trade Adjustment Act and the benefits your workers can receive if the layoffs are a result of foreign trade. Your company, the Rapid Response team, or the workers themselves can file a trade petition with the United States Department of Labor. The local Rapid Response Coordinator can provide the referral for businesses or job seekers interested in Trade Act services.
