To ensure payments and bills are issued to valid nominees, any nominee who is no longer meant to receive payments or bills on behalf of the primary client can be deactivated. For example, a husband who is nominated to receive payments on behalf of his wife should no longer be eligible to receive those payments in the case of a divorce. When a nominee is deactivated, the nominee's status changes from 'active' to 'inactive'. Inactive nominees cannot be assigned to case components. A primary client or a nominee that is actively receiving case components cannot be deactivated.
