I am not sure, vit I think not. It pays out like unemployment benefits, week.to week. Your just changing jobs, and, until released by the doctor, you have documented proof of an inability to work. Make the call at 8AM or send a message through the portal. They don't take weeks to answer any more. But, you will need to log in and check for a response

You’re fine. People don’t return after an FMLA leave all the time. So long as you were employed during the week in which you claimed benefits, there isn’t recourse in terms of FMLA payments.

Now, if your are receiving health benefits and your employer pays your premiums and have continued during your leave, they can request you repay those premiums from what I understand.

From my experience, no. I was on FMLA for almost 3 months and during that time a headhunter contacted me about a great job which I ended up getting. I let my employer know I would not be returning while still on FMLA and there were no repercussions.
