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.

Amends the Trade Act of 1974 to permit to be included within a group of workers certified by the Secretary of Labor as eligible for adjustment assistance thereunder individuals whose last total or partial separation from employment occurred before the date specified in the certification as the day on which total partial separation began or threatened to begin among the adversely affected group.
