I injured in the office last year. Then, I got a surgery due to the injury. I got fired from work 14 months later and the reason my employer gave to me was "bad performance" evaluation even though I worked very hard according to any labor standards.
I have been claimed unemployment for past 4 months. However, my doctor has not release me from my injury yet. I still go to physical therapy twice a week. Some people include my doctor told me that I should claim works comp (pays 70% non-taxable income based on current year's income) instead claim unemployment (pays 60% taxable fed income based on last years' income). I really appreciate if I can get a professional advice regarding this matter.
Thank you very much in advance.
