We were an active participant in the program and did about a million dollars of them during that time. One of the facilities a couple of miles from our Rapid City office that would NOT process the paperwork to get the work done is a Walgreens. To my knowledge still not done. I think the vast majority of the heads still out there are because the owner didn't follow through and do the paperwork.

It's the responsibility of the owner. As such, either the requirement to look for them was in the contract or Walgreens was a big customer for this guy so they "voluntarily" bit the bullet.
