Legal Question in Medical Leave in Virginia

Being terminated while on FMLA

I was family medical leave for stress related reasons during March 5,2007 - -May 25,2007. I was hospitalized for 1 week and ordered by my physician to take an additional 1 week off work. As stated before my FML was to run out May 25, 2007. I was called into HR on March 10,2007 and informed I was being terminated. Can they legally do this, I worked for a state government agency?
