If this money was withheld for damages and you had none, then yes you entitled to this money. In fact, it is possible that holding back this money was not even legal in the first place; it all depends on the specific facts of your situation. At this point, you can either sue for the money in small claims court or you can file a wage claim with your state's department of labor.
