I recommend that you file for unemployment benefits. It does not appear that you engaged in any misconduct therefore you should get your benefits.
Based on these facts, you would not have a claim for wrongful termination. However, if there are other facts that you believe contributed to your termination, then you may want to discuss the termination with an employment attorney.
