Hand (out) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dole

'hand out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dole that I've seen before include "State benefit (colloq.)" , "Unemployment pay" , "Unemployment benefit (sl.)" , "Dish (out sparingly)" , "Money received from the state while unemployed" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday and The New York Times.
