It is not unusual for the Association for the Visually Impaired to wait several months before it is reimbursed for services it has provided to clients, says its executive director, Laura Geberth.
Last year, nine months passed before the Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped paid up for contracted services, and Geberth had to dip into other funds to pay staff. That's not as bad as having to take out a loan to make payments, which the nonprofit agency has had to do in the past, Geberth said."
