A. The department shall, without cost to the applicant, issue an identification card to every person who is a recipient of financial assistance from the department upon voluntary application by such person, except in those cases in which the financial assistance is issued by means of an electronic benefits transfer card and the department retains on file a color photograph of the recipient. For the purpose of this article, "financial assistance" means payments in cash or kind made under the provisions of this title, and food stamp benefits.

Every such card shall contain the photograph of the holder. Such photograph shall be processed in color.

C. The identification card shall be returned to the department when the person to whom it is issued is no longer a recipient of financial assistance from the department.
