If she truly believes that you were guilty of stealing, even if she is mistaken, she has done nothing illegal. It might be bad management to discuss it with other employees but it's not illegal. Nor is it illegal for her to say what she believes to be the truth when called for a job reference, and she would only be doing her job if she tries to stop an employee that she believed stole, from getting UI.

If, on the other hand, she knows perfectly well that you didn't steal anything, then you might have some legal recourse.

Here's the problem: How are you going to prove one way or the other what she believes?

Your best bet is to talk to an attorney about your options.
