FMLA Still Needed To Protect Me After Going Back 4 Hrs Day LD?

[Mom]

I started back LD 4 hours a day on 4/14, the day I handed in my FMLA form that the ER asked me to. Now the benefits specialist has said that since I'm back part time, there is no need for her to turn in the FMLA form. Is this correct? Or is it in my best interest to still have the FMLA in place?

I don't think you get a choice; but it does protect your job....

I've been back at work now for 2 months with limited duties, no standing more than1/2 hr., no lifting more than 10 lbs., no twisting or bending, ect. What I have to do is email w/c insurance case worker who is handling my case and I get 2/3 of the amount I would have earned at the time of the accident happened minus the hours I worked. Hope this helps.
