I am a worker who is already part of a certified worker group. Can I get the benefits as provided under the new TAA program instead of the benefits provided in the old program?
A. No. The law provides that workers covered by certification of petitions filed before May 18, 2009 will receive the benefits that were available under the old law. The exception is that workers covered by certifications of petitions filed under the old TAA program will receive the increased HCTC amount beginning in May 2009.
