My husband was in the process of getting FMLA approved when he got fired last year... actually, he got the signed paperwork saying it was approved and then they called him right about the time he got home saying he was fired One of the reasons was too many absences but the FMLA was supposed to cover the past ones once approved, he was told. Then they gave us a check for unused vacation days. Figure that out?!?

Shortly later one of his ex-coworkers got canned and he sued and they settled... I had been on my husband to get a suit filed but he never did We also heard the company seemed to be trying to get rid of their boss too. No idea what was going on there.

Our insurance was still good for a day or 2 after he got fired so I made sure to get out and refill all our prescriptions before our coverage ended.
