Unemployment: Definition of "unemployed through no fault of your own"

That’s a common misunderstanding. You can be fired for literally anything. “For cause” usually means you were breaking the law, or just not showing up. If you were fired because the employer didn’t think you were doing X, Y, and Z job duties to his satisfaction, that’s usually not considered your fault for unemployment insurance purposes.

I’m no expert, but I was fired once and received unemployment benefits anyway.
