I was in a car accident and have been off work for 2 years for medical reasons . I have been told my benefits will stop and I no longer have a job to return to . Is this legal and am I entitled to severance .

Thank you for your question.

Yes, if you have been told that you no longer have a job to return to as a result of your medical leave, you will be entitled to severance. It is just a question of how much you will be entitled to. How much you will be entitled to will depend, among other things, whether your condition is permanent.
