I used to live in NJ but I have lived in NY for the entirety of 2020. My employer withheld 310.64 for NJ SUI/SDI for 2020. How can I get this amount back?

Contact your employer about getting a refund. New Jersey will over give a refund for excess excess UI/WF/SWF, Disability Insurance, and/or Family Leave Insurance Contributions as a result of working for more than one employer.

NJ says, "If the amount deducted by any one employer exceeds the maximum
for either UI/WF/SWF, disability insurance, or family leave insurance,
enter the maximum in the appropriate column(s) and contact that
employer for a refund of the balance of the deduction."

My company does not issue W2c for payment. They told me to get a refund by filing a nonresident tax for New Jersey. However, according to you, I am not allowed to do this?

Which state did you work in?

If you lived and worked in New York all year, the NJ SUI and SDI is a mistake. Ask your employer to refund the money to you and give you a corrected W-2.

If you worked in New Jersey you have to pay the SUI and SDI taxes, even though you live in New York. Your employer was correct to withhold the taxes, and you don't get it back.

There is no way to get a refund on a New Jersey income tax return. Form NJ-2450 is used to receive a refund for excess UI/WF/SWF, DI and FLI when the excess was caused by working for more than one employer.

The form says, "If the amount deducted by any one employer exceeds the maximum for either UI/WF/SWF, disability insurance, or family leave insurance, enter the maximum in the appropriate column(s) and contact that employer for a refund of the balance of the deduction."

The NJ withholding booklet says: "If you withhold more than the amount of tax requested, you should repay the difference to the employee. Reimbursement is a matter of settlement between you and your employee."
