I tore my rotator cuff while I was off work and the next day i gave my boss the note from the E.R. saying that i could'nt work for a mininum of 2 weeks. He had me fill out paper work to request medical leave from our corporate office, a week later i received a letter in the mail stating that on Nov. 21 I requested medical but I don't qualify for it so as of Nov. 21 I have been terminated from employement. I have worked for this company as a automotive technician for 4 months.

It's hard to tell because the employer has to be covered as well as the employee. To read the regulations, go to

No. Additionally, you were not on medical leave, you were waiting approval for medical leave.
Since you have only worked 4 months you are not an eligible employee under FMLA rules even if your employer is required to provide FMLA benefits.
