If you pay state taxes you have state disability. Contact your disability office.

Department of Labor and Workforce Development | Temporary Disability (http://lwd.dol.state.nj.us/labor/tdi/tdiindex.html)

Unemployment is only when you are laid off from a job. If you are fired, you can not collect.
