Company being sold / On disability

[Vinniechenzo]

I live in Michigan and am currently on short-term disability. The company I work for is being sold. Most or all of the previous company's employees are going to be offered a job with the new company. Does the new company also have an obligation to hire me?
What happens if I switch to long-term before the deal is final?

The company is under no obligation to hire you. But......maybe you should talk to people who are already hired and see how they got in and see if your boss would bring you to the new company.

try this site to see if there are any rules about disability being transferred (i.e. obligation to pay, etc.)
