You should be able to Sign Up for Un-Employment with no Problem until either Things Pick-Up at Your Work, or You find New! I Hope this Helps, and Remember One Day at a Time, You are doing Great and don't want to Lose the Work You have put into it! My Very Best, and Please let Us know How things Go!!

Your Employer doesn't have to find, or make a job for you ,after your FLMA has run out.
I'm sorry that they won't let you return....but this is the norm after one is injured sad to say. Several of us on here were terminated after our injuries, even after years of dedicated service. All you can do is wait it out and see what happens at work. Do the UE in the meantime.
Keep posting, this will help with the past "sober" problem...You do not want to re-visit that problem. We will pep talk you, and offer a shoulder as much as we can!

Prayers for you to have strength! Lilly
