Senior ID Program

If you are a senior, or you have a family member or friend who is a senior, and would like a free senior citizen identification card, please join me for a FREE Senior I.D. Program on Friday, June 8th, from 10:00 am to Noon at the Franklin Square Library.  This program is being held in conjunction with Town of Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen and Town Clerk Sylvia Cabana.

The program allows seniors to obtain a free wallet-sized ID card which includes a photo, the holder’s personal contact information (name, address, phone number, date of birth), and an emergency contact name and phone number which would be useful in an emergency. The ID can be kept in the wallet so that emergency responders will know whom to contact if a senior is in an emergency situation and cannot communicate.

The Senior ID card:

*Includes your personal contact information;
*Includes your photo;
*Lists an emergency contact name and phone number; and
*Is helpful to police, fire or ambulance responders in an emergency.

For information, contact my Community Office at 516-739-1700 or E-mail me at hannon@nysenate.gov.

There is no charge for the card and no appointments are necessary.
