Rockland County Clerk: the Return the F.A.V.O.R. Card

The Clerk's flier: "The 'RETURN THE F.A.V.O.R' (Find & Assist Vets of Record) Discount Program, provides picture I.D. cards to honorably discharged veterans. The County Clerk has recruited over 600 local merchants who agree to honor the card by providing holders with a discount on goods or services." The programme "originated in Rockland County in the Office of Rockland County Clerk Donna G. Silberman in 2008", and most New York counties have since copied it. How. "To qualify, veterans must appear at the County Clerk's office and file their Honorable Discharge papers (DD-214's) and present their driver's license proving Rockland County residency. The DD-214 is then filed and the veteran will be provided with a free F.A.V.O.R. I.D. card." Another government photo ID showing the address also serves. The office is on the 1st floor of the Rockland County Courthouse, best reached from the rear lot of the County Office Building at 11 New Hempstead Road; cards are issued Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. "There is no fee to receive your initial card, however there will be a $5.00 fee to replace a lost card. There is no expiration date." Questions: (845) 638-5076. The flier is undated, so check the hours when you call; current discounts are listed on the Clerk's site, rocklandcountyclerk.com.
