Recompliance for social obligation failures

Clients and their partners who have failed their social obligations need to meet all their social obligations as part of an activity to increase their benefit.

Once a client or partner indicates they want to recomply MSD must have a discussion with them about what they need to do to recomply.

Note when a client has a partner, social obligations apply to both the client and the partner.
