No, not necessarily. There are two types of disability payments:
If you have any taxable benefits, you should receive a Form 1099-G from your state. The deadline for those to be mailed in January 31, 2017.
If you leave work because of a disability and receive disability benefits, those benefits are not reportable for tax purposes.
However, if you are receiving unemployment benefits, become ill or injured, and begin receiving disability benefits; those DI benefits are considered a substitute for UI and are reportable for tax purposes up to your UI maximum benefit amount.
