Carl Levin: “If someone gave your daughter now something greater than-- now--something greater than $250 from any source, she would…”

On the recordMay 5, 1994
If someone gave your daughter now something greater than-- now--something greater than $250 from any source, she would be covered now, under current rules. So in terms of the coverage of your daughter, your daughter is covered under the current rules. The $20 limit has many, many exceptions, so I cannot tell you what she can do. I can go through all the exceptions with the Senator from Alaska, which I would be happy to do, but the one you mentioned relative to the birthday party, she is fine, no problem; she gets it from a personal friend and there is no difficulty and there is no limit on that amount.
