Worker's compensation laws are State-specific so you may
wish to speak with a local WC attorney but it's quite
possible that after you had been on 12 weeks of medical
leave (FMLA) and still unable to return to work, your
employer was free to terminate your employment or fill your
job and stop paying for your group health insurance.
