it's required that anyone submitting a new application, renewal app, or reporting a change in address that the client applying for public benefits is offered the opportunity to register to vote. If the client says yes, then they are given an application and a copy of their ID is taken and sent to the SOS. They are supposed to confirm eligibility and then mail the voters card put.
AZ was sued for not offering the opportunity because the employees would forget or be busy worrying about the program they are helping the client with, not so much getting them registered. The settlement now has several layers of checks in place to make sure the offer to register is properly extended.

So basically if you are not on public assistant, you do not get that offer? Correct.
No, you don't have to be "on" just apply for public assistance.
I am not even 100% sure why this is a requirement other than my assumption, those on Public Assistance may lean left.
Because the illegal immigrants need help that's why. I think that is the reason.
