What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I live in New Jersey and was employed by the same company for 8 1/2 yrs. I have suffered from severe depression for the last 10 yrs. I was taken out of work on disabilty in Aug by my doctor due to recurring anxiety and depression and having to change my medication. I was due to return to work on Nov. 1st. I received a letter from work dated 10/22 stating that they tried to hold my position until 11/1 but have been unable to do so and had no alternative but to terminate my employment. Is it legal in the state of NJ for them to terminate me while on disability? I can't afford to lose my health benefits right now.
