Yes, an employee can and often will be terminated while on a Long-Term disability claim if there is indication he/she will not be returning to work. There is nothing stating or requiring an employer to keep an employee who is unable to perform the tasks required by their job description on staff.

Clearly the Long-Term disability benefits will continue regardless. However, other benefits could be lost once terminated. Check with you insurance provider for specifics on this.

The unemployment office will look at the reasons for your termination. If you were let go because of a lack of work, reduction in force, or because your leave was exhausted and no further time off could be granted. Next, the unemployment office will look at your ability to seek and accept immediate full time work. If you are not able to work due to a disability, then you will be denied. However, if you were disabled and are NOW able to work, then you will need a medical certification (furnished by the unemployment office) and completed by your medical doctor, then you could then be eligible. The first step is to apply for benefits.

Can I be terminated when short-term disability expires?

Actually you can be terminated BEFORE your disability expires. Family leave laws work independently of disability insurance coverage. FMLA and several state laws provide for unpaid job protected leave. FMLA provides 12 weeks of leave. The law applies to employers with more than 50 employees. Other qualifying criteria apply. Short term disability replaces a portion of your income during the time you are unable to work. Benefits can last from 3 months to 24 months. Your employer is not bound by the length of the short term disability benefit period.
