If you are employed "at-will," which most people who work without employment contracts are, then yes, your employer can fire you at any time, for any reason. Your only recourse, aside from unemployment benefits, would be a possibility of lawsuit if your employer wrongfully terminated you, such as on the basis of disability discrimination.The employer "can" also tell the unemployment insurance office that you quit. It is in their best financial interest to prevent you from successfully claiming unemployment benefits, and in a hostile situation such as this, the employer will often lie and distort facts in order to make it appear that you either quit voluntarily, or were fired for misconduct--in other words, for something that was your fault, not theirs.However, if you did not quit, you can fight their denial and still get unemployment benefits. You'll need to gather all documentation regarding your medical leave, as well as educate yourself about your employer's claim (Why did they say you quit? What is their evidence?) and your best arguments against it. Employers in general don't have great track records winning against employees in unemployment claims when it comes to medical issues...and they are probably hoping that you won't know how to fight it, and will just give up.
