The employer can only prevent you from receiving unemployment benefits where if can prove that you willfully violated an employer rule or policy that you knew wabout, or that common sense dictates you should have known about. Given the facts that you recite above, you should be eligible for benefits. But be sure to testify that youdid your job the best you knew how.
