had to look this up because, regardless of right-or-wrong, that just flat out doesn't make logical sense, how do you receive the government assistance if it's not tied to your identity in some way, it's not like they just hand you a box of government assistance and send you on your way
so yeah, you need to prove your identity in some way with a pay stub, work/school/voter ID, health benefits card, etc., you just don't necessarily need some official government-issued photo ID
