Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

terminated during long term disability

I am about to be released to return to work after a long-term disability. My LTD nurse contacted my employer and was told my position was over when I opted not to accept COBRA benefits. I've not received any notice of termination. I called my district manager directly and he said there is no work for me. Can they do this? I live in VA, worked in MD and corporate offices are located in IL.
