Re: long term disability

At minimum, you should be eligible to purchase COBRA insurance unless the total number of employees employed by your employer is below the statutory limit. You should also call the Department of Family and Childrens Services in your county to determine whether your breast cancer qualifies you for state sponsored health plan options. Your questions regarding your employers' actions should be addressed to a disability law attorney.
