Can you be fired for going on disability in NJ?
There are two law that provide job security during your leave for disability: the FMLA provides twelve weeks of unpaid leave for your disability. NJ has a separate law, but it provides leave for you to care for a sick family member - not your own disability. Your employer does not have to hold your job open if FMLA does not apply, or if your leave extends beyond 12 weeks.
Are you eligible for short term disability in Illinois during fmla leave?
It depends on why you are taking leave, and if you have short term disability coverage in force. Illinois does not have state mandated disability coverage so you would need to have a policy already in place. Short term disability will cover your disability, but will not pay benefits if you are taking leave to care for a family member.
Does your insurance stop when you have short term disability?
While you are on leave you have the option of continuing your insurance coverage under the same terms as when you were employed - provided your employer is bound by FMLA. Once your FMLA leave expires and you remain disabled you can continue medical benefits via COBRA.

Can I be terminated when short-term disability expires?
Actually you can be terminated BEFORE your disability expires. Family leave laws work independently of disability insurance coverage. FMLA and several state laws provide for unpaid job protected leave. FMLA provides 12 weeks of leave. The law applies to employers with more than 50 employees. Other qualifying criteria apply. Short term disability replaces a portion of your income during the time you are unable to work. Benefits can last from 3 months to 24 months. Your employer is not bound by the length of the short term disability benefit period.

Your employer may allow you (or require you) to take vacation or sick leave to cover the time, or may offer a short term disability insurance plan, but there is nothing in any of the federal laws that mandates payment during FMLA leave.
