First, a wrongful termination does not mean that you were fired unfairly or for something you didn't do. It is not a wrongful termination unless a specific law exists that prohibits the employer from terming you for the reason they did. Unless there is much more to the story than you have posted, you were not wrongfully terminated under the law, even though it may have been unfair.

Secondly, even if you did have a wrongful termination claim, which you do not, three years is beyond the statute of limitations for most claims in most states.

Third, there is nothing you can do to force them to rehire you or to make you eligible for rehire. No law tells employers who they can and cannot be made ineligible for rehire; the law is not going to force them to hire you just because you want to work for them again. They do not owe you a job.
