Do Municipal IDs grant immigrants access to benefits?

Municipal IDs do not grant immigrants access to benefits that they do not otherwise qualify for. For example, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for food stamps under federal law. A municipal ID would not change that and a person who is not eligible for food stamps could not use the ID to obtain the benefit.
