If you actually read the fine print or address the reality of those 'offers,' you will see that they have to jump through many, many hoops to even qualify for the free ID and that most of the time the things needed to apply for an ID (such as birth certificate/marriage certificate/et cetera) would not be covered, nor would they get assistance (if they were, say, handicapped or simply older without any help) to get to the places where they could get ID. In short it seems like it was made much more difficult, time and money consuming than it needed to be.

  I hate to tell you but they are going to need those documents to apply for Social Security
  "nor would they get assistance (if they were, say, handicapped or simply older without any help) to get to the places where they could get ID."
  Same can be said for obtaining SS or actually going to the polls to vote
  GA actually was going to the homes with a mobile unit to supply ID's
  How do they cash checks without an ID? or buy tobacco, alcohol etc?
