As far as I know, when you are on disability your are to return to your employer with either the same or similar position. They can give away your position, but you are allowed back onto the job with a similar or same position. For example, you stock shelves in a store in Dept A. making $$ an hour. You go on disability and they put another person in your spot. When you return to work after being on disability your employer is obligated to have you stock shelves as before at $$ per hour, but it may be in a Dept B.

I hope that makes sense. I would fill out the FMLA form because that protects you.

Can you collect New York State unemployment while on disability?

Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work.This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Can you get fired just for having a disability?

People are not "hired under" the ADA. The ADA merely prohibits discrimination by employers against covered individuals and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for covered employees. A covered individual can be fired as long as the employer's action did not discriminate against the employee on the basis of his or her disability. For example, any employee, covered or not, can be terminated for cause.
