I got clarification from the USBC Rules department. They agree that if a bowler resigns in accordance with the rules, they should receive a payout of a prorated share of the winnings based on the team's final league standings. If the bowler is not receiving a payout, the league has to inform the bowler (preferably in writing) as to why there is no payout being paid to them. If the bowler disagrees with the reasoning, the bowler would then escalate the issue to the USBC.
Sounds like the leagues at our bowling center have to make some changes as this has never been the case. I have been a team captain several times and a league officer on a few leagues over the years, and this was never done.
