Legal Question in Insurance Law in California

Willful misconduct

I was terminated on May 2007 on my termination letter from my employer it read as follows: Reason for employee leaving: Employee is being terminated due to escrow losses. She had been counseled previously on a $8,00.00 loss and had another potential loss of $10,000.00 due to not following and adhering to company procedures. I have a personal loan and I paid for insurance just in case I got terminated or laid off, I filed this in June and it is now the end of Sept and the claim has not been paid. One of the exclusion is willful misconduct, based on the reason the employer gave, do you think that is willful misconduct. I feel this was carelessness on my part. Please advise.
