Long Term Disability ?

A co-worker is fighting breast cancer.

She's been on short term disability - when she applied for long-term she was unaware that this meant her employment would be terminated. She just found out the other day that her employment was terminated in June. How could our HR dept not relay this highly important information to her and make absolutely certain that she understood all aspect here?

We are in IL - is this an IL or Federal law? You can't get long term disability unless you don't have a job? That's what our employer is saying.

Anyone out there have experience with this matter? Input appreciated!
