Please do not type in all caps; it makes your post hard to read and is considered shouting on the Internet.

The answer to your question is Maybe. It depends upon your answers to the following questions:

1.) How long have you worked for this employer?
2.) In the 12 months immediately preceding your leave, had you worked a minimum of 1,250 hours?
3.) How many employees does the employer have within 75 miles of your location?
4.) It is unclear if you have been out for 5 weeks, 8 weeks, or 13 weeks. Which is it?

IF (and that's a big if) you were eligible for FMLA leave, did you request it before taking an absense?
