Good afternoon.

My question is......

I was working for a small orthodontic company for 7 years in CT. In october 2008 I gave birth. About a week prior I was technically let go without pay and without benifits and was told that I have a job when I am ready (roughly 3 months). I filed for unemployment due to the fact CT does not offer disability for new mothers and just needed money to live. I was denied due to the fact that It was medical and I had a job waiting for me when in 3 months. I attempted to go back to work last week and the requirements for my return have changed. I was told that the woman who replaced me, and who I trained, will need a full time job lined up prior to my position being available. I am not looking to sue for millions but am curious of what has transpired legal? I feel I was lyed to, and now I am in a position where I find myself filing ofr food stamps due to the lack of jobs out there...yes I am in the process of looking for another job as well as re-applied for unemployment. But with CT I seem to have to jump through hoops and am worried about the lead time to even get a "no" as an answer. PLease help with some advice or what to do.
