Check with the New Your Department of Labor.
Re: position elimination
It is legal to be replaced as long as you are not a member of a protected class and the reason for your job loss is a pretext for unlawful discrimination.
Members of a protected class may include being female, a person of color, being disabled or considered disabled, over the age of 40, or a person of a different nationality. You may want to re-examine your circumstances and then visit http://eeoc.gov. Good luck.
