If you were terminated from your employment while you were on leave under the Federal Medical Leave Act  (FMLA) and while on short term disability leave, you need to consult with an employment attorney as to what your legal recourse as well as a representative with your local department of labor. Impression is that your termination was improper unless your employer's finances mandated a downsize of the operations of his or her business.You qualify for unemployment benefits given your termination. As such I would make a claim for such.
