If you did everything required to be eligible for the commission, you have a good argument that you are entitled to it, despite quitting. The old saying is "He who shakes the tree is entitled to gather the fruit." Some important factors are what the written commission plan says, and the nature of your sales work. Definitely worth reviewing with an attorney.
