Labor/ employment laws?

I missed 4 days of work due to having multiple extractions, which dry socketed, which then abcessed, i had Dr notes for every day missed and called in before the shift started as the guidelines say to do, yet still got fired upon my return. Id been there only a year. Is this legal? Theyve also denied my unemployment claim and cut off my health benifits.

Legal? Depends. In what state were you employed? Is your employer required to offer FMLA? If so, did you request it? Did you call out each day you missed?

If you a no longer an employee, you are no longer eligible for employer provided insurance.

If you live in an employment at will state it's definitely legal and very well may be even if you don't. It's certainly not fair.
