I was fired for suspision of theft, can I collect unemployment in NJ?

I was handed & told to use the company credit card to make a business purchase on my Amazon account. Several months later I made 3 personal purchases which (unbeknown to me at the time) were applied to the business card, which I forgot was the last card used on my personal account. My boss noticed the charges on his bank statement, called Amazon to clarify and brought it to my attention; Confused, I checked with Amazon, was mortified when I found out what had happened, apologized & immediately repaid my boss for the debt (which he cashed right away). A few days later he fired me saying he no longer trusted me. I will probably need to file for unemployment as my job hunting has not been productive. Can I be refused if I apply? My boss accepted my apology, and repayment, never filed charges. He seemed to believe my apology, then he fired me! Now I hear he is interviewing for my position at half the salary I was making. All I want is to collect and not hear any false rumors about me.
