i am currently on a paid leave of absence due to mental health issues. I filed a workers comp case stating prolonged use of staring at the computer with having to focus with no opportunity to take a break has caused my mental health issues to worsen. I want to take the VSP if offered. How do i know if a new VSP will be offered. I may have to just quit and tell unemployment the job got to stressful. I am honestly not sure what to do.

It would be unusual for their to be another VSP offered in the next 2-3 years. Companies don't normally offer them, and this one was kind of a trainwreck the way they rolled it out. I suspect senior leaders will walk away from it thinking it wasn't worth the headache.
From now on, it's more likely to be targeted layoffs. Depending on your relationship with your manager, you might let them know you're open to being laid off, if the need arises.
Just my opinion but I don’t think there will be another VSP anytime soon. They got the desired result from the one offered. That was the warning shot that everyone should have paid attention to.
