What is the name of your state?Texas
The company I was employed by recently "down-sized" while I was on Short Term Disability. For the most recent pay period I received two checks:a STD check with all the usual deductions and a severance check with only taxes deducted. Can an employee be terminated while out on Short Term Disability ? I have cancer and have been undergoing treatment to shrink the tumor prior to it's removal. My surgery date is two weeks away and, since I have not received COBRA information thus far, I am concerned I will lose my health benefits in the middle of my treatment. Short Term Disability insurance is provided by my employer at no cost to me. The only notification I received of my termination was the severance check.
