Legal Question in Disability Law in New York

can i be fired while on std? my employer's guidelines indicate my job is secure for 20 weeks (which i am quickly approaching) but guidelines also indicate i will continue to get disability checks up to 26 weeks being out of work. i have been an employee at the company for almost 3 years. my boss called wanting to know if i'll be back by the 20th week, which i won't, and tells me it's been real tough without me there and may need to replace me. does this mean i will simply be transfered in another dept upon my return, or am i basically being politely threatened to be terminated if i don't return by the 20th week? my doctor is adamant about me not returning yet - i am physically unable to maintain this job right now with my physical limitations. please help!
