I notified the previous employer that I was a FL resident, but they continued to withhold NJ State Income Tax on the monthly severance payments. Am I entitled to file with NJ for a refund of the State Income tax paid to them?

This is tricky, because NJ taxes nonresidents on payments received "for services performed in New Jersey." Specifically, severance pay is considered to be New Jersey source income, under N.J.S.A. 54A:5-8.

I suggest you call the NJ tax authority, and discuss it with them
