Yes, an employer can terminate someone on disability.
They just can't terminate you simply because you went on disability.
You really need to provide more information on your situation.

More information is needed.
Why were you terminated - was it a group firing, or was it beacause you were on medical disability?
How many employees are there? What type of job and employment did you have?

If you recieve disability it is because you are unable to work, so having a job doesn't make sense. If you mean temporary disability, the answer is still yes, if you exceed the maximum amount of allowed time before returning to work. If you mean workman's comp, the answer is generally no.

Rule of Thumb - If a situation raises the question of whether or not you need to contact a lawyer then you should contact a lawyer. The laws vary by state and the price of a consultation fee would be worth it if your questions are answered.
