Re: Permanent Restriction
You get one or the other. If you qualify for and receive worker's compensation benefits, you are not eligible for unemployment. If you receive unemployment, you are not employed and thus don't qualify for wage loss benefits through worker's compensation.
I don't know if you would qualify for wage loss benefits given this brief return to work - that's a game some employers play to try to get injured workers off of their benefits, although usually it takes longer than a day for them to say "We don't have restricted duty work available." But if you believe you will be employed before your unemployment runs out, it shouldn't make much difference to you.
If you wish to try to get wage loss benefits instead of unemployment, I would suggest getting help from a worker's compensation lawyer. The settlement will likely be based upon your earnings history and will take into consideration an assessment of the nature and extent of your disability.
