True.
If the net force is zero, acceleration is zero, so the object's velocity is constant. That constant velocity may be nonzero (object coasting in a straight line) or zero (at rest). Example: a puck sliding on a frictionless surface continues moving at constant speed even though the net force on it is zero.
