Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

I was fired from my position for "filing an incorrect timecard". I applied for unemployment, was initially declined, fought it, was brought up to a "judge" were me and my company were on the phone to plead our cases. 2 days later I was proved not guilty for lack of better wording and had all my unemployment approved. My question--being that I was found not guilty in that sense and proven innocent did they then fire me unlawfully? Do I have a possible case? Thank you. Never written up prior, no issues. This was in the state of NY.
