Blake, I was also let go after my injury. I did as Bad Boy said, keep my employer updated on my condition and the day that I told them I could not return to what I was doing, they said they had nothing else to offer me, which I knew beforehand that they did'nt. They told me my date of termination and gave me the cobra option for healthcare.When I applied for unemployment, I had no problem, but then went to a hearing and the employer said that I was not "collecting unemployment on his dime". Well sorry charlie, but he is collecting on your dime.If your employer had nothing for you within your restrictions, you should be ok, but if they had something and you did'nt take it, I think your out of luck, other than to maybe say "ok if you are saying you did not fire me, and you have work for me within my restrictions I will be there monday morning!" Good luck.
