just a quick clarification:
Jack used the phrase "hand outs" in the second sentence referring to the poor man not wanting to receive "hand outs" .... Be careful of this usage. In this case hand out becomes one word: HANDOUT and it becomes a noun.
The phrase hand out vs hand over, you asked about is an verb or action. They are doing something because you can use the word HAND as a verb - "can you HAND me a napkin?" or "He must HAND over the money he owed"
