Know that an employer has no obligation to extend FMLA benefits beyond your end date. Return to work if possible. If not, do you have any short term disability benefits? Also, if you can do your job but need an accommodation (a midday break to take medications for instance) ask your employer if they can accommodate. But, you MUST be able to do your job.
