If a person is both the primary client and the receiver of payments and bills, the person plays two roles on the case; "primary client" and "nominee". The system automatically places the primary client in the role of nominee when the case is created on the system. The only time the person does not play both roles is if the person requests that an alternative participant receives the payments and bills on their behalf.
If a participant receives payments and bills instead of the primary client, that participant plays the role of nominee on the case. Payments and bills can be issued to an alternative nominee during the time period that the primary client is eligible and for as long or short a time required by the primary client.
