I got laid off while I was on short term disability, ever happen to anyone else?

This was several years ago. On short term disability for a non work related injury. I was let go 6 days before returning. The reason was something along the line of my position being eliminated. In an at will state. So perfectly legal I guess. Just wanted to say too many people here have the answer of “get a lawyer!” “Sue!” For perfectly legal reasons to be let go. Typically employers aren’t dumb enough to say someone was fired for being disabled or for being X color. That could be the reason they want them gone, but all they have to do is just give a legal reason Actually, doesn’t at will mean that even no reason needs to be given to be let go? Just like how someone can quit with no notice any time
