Have they been paying you to be out of work up till this point? If so and they do not have any light duty then they should still be paying you.

Have you not kept in touch with your place of employment?. or thought it strange they have not contacted you , I would have wondered, Have you been receivng WC benifits,?. When did you retain a attorney?.

what state are you in ?

Then if you have not received any type of termination notice , and the Co has no record, you may still be employed, just because they took your name from the schedule, may not meen you were/are terminated. I would have your attorney call the employer or HR dept and find out before you try filing for Unemployment......

Hr have a termination date as of 11-5-08 the insurance co. said they will look into it.
