If I was terminated last year for misuse of my time card but never shown proof, can I still file for unemployment?

About 5 months agoI was terminated after 7 years because my new manager of less than 1 year said that were discrepancies on my timcard. He never showed me proof or said what kind of discrepancies there were. Another manager was present at this point but she never said anything. A few minutes later I signed a paperwork that put me on administrative leave and was told that he will contact me in about a week when his investigation was over. I did not go to that meeting. The next day I received my last paycheck.

Since you were terminated from employment for alleged misuse of a time card several months ago and you have yet to make an application for unemployment, there is nothing stopping you from doing so. The issue is that there is a certain period of time for a person to make an application for such benefits. With that in mind, I suggest that you make your application as soon as possible.
