Does he work for a very small company? Typically commission employees like car dealers have a base pay which might be like minimum wage and then commission on top of it. There must be a base pay. Cannot be just commission, it’s illegal to not provide base pay.

His work place should either provide base pay right now or explain what’s the next step. What did they tell him?

If they refuse to pay base pay now, yes he could qualify for unemployment.
