Essay winner Hue Cao loses car prize over welfare rules
An 11 year old Vietnamese immigrant Hue Cao, winner of a Statue of Liberty essay contest, cannot keep the $9,000 car prize because welfare rules would cut benefits. The prize will be placed in an educational trust after the car is auctioned. A donor offered to buy a suitable car for $1,499, which could be kept without affecting benefits. The White House cannot waive the law, and Hue will receive an all expenses paid trip to New York for the rededication ceremony. Reagan called to congratulate her. The trip is not a resource under welfare rules.
