I am quite sure they were not supposed to give out those benefits.
I was a very young kid when our church sponsored Vietnamese refugees fleeing communism, just old enough to remember we had to give to a special fund since the families couldn’t use welfare.
(That didn’t last too long because the Vietnamese quickly found work or started businesses)

So? They were never supposed to give them out. Now or then. But they did and do.
