If you're asking for an extension that's considered a reasonable accommodation to your employer, you can make a legal case for them to keep your job.
Short-term disability is a wage replacement benefit that provides compensation for injuries or illnesses that happen away from the job that renders employees unable to work for a short period of time. FMLA prevents an employee from losing their job or benefits, and protects them from retaliation, in the event of a need for a leave of absence from work to deal with a health condition or care-giving responsibility. Generally, the law allows employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period.
