No. You are not supposed to receive unemployment if you were fired "for cause," meaning you did something wrong.

Such circumstances may be a decree from the President or Governor due to widespread economic hardship, or massive layoffs from a key employer.

If your ex-employer is harassing you; however, you should call the police and BBB.
