Laws vary by state but most require that final paychecks be made available the next regularly scheduled payday. If your employer feels that you owe him restitution for something, he needs to seek the appropriate relief - filing a criminal complaint, for example, and/or filing a small claims suit against you to recover the value of what you stole.

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

There is a chance the employer will not take that opportunity.
