Can you collect unemployment in New Jersey if you were fired for stealing?

According to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce which administers UI benefits in the state, your eligibility to collect unemployment will be impaired if you were fired for "misconduct" which is defined as any action that is not in the best interests of your employer. You would be disqualified for up to five weeks. However, the eligibility requirements also note that if you were fired for "gross misconduct," e.g. anything that you could be criminally charged for, you may be permanently disqualified. This is the category that "stealing" would fall under. Note that everything is "may be" - you should still file for unemployment benefits. The worst that can happen is that they will say no.
