What are the new functions of the third generation social security card?

1 What are the functions of the third generation social security card? What are the benefits?

2. China's social security card has been updated to the third generation. Compared with the previous two generations, the third generation social security card has further improved its financial function and security.

3. The first generation social security card in China is a magnetic stripe card, and its ability to record information and keep secrets is still relatively poor. The second generation social security card adopts IC chip encryption card, which is similar to bank card and has more functions of password payment than the first generation. The latest third-generation social security card is based on the second generation, which adds non-contact transaction function. When in use, the information near the card reader can be read without swiping or inserting the card. In addition, the third generation social security card is more perfect in the application of chip technology, and the confidentiality of personal information is also higher, which can effectively avoid the phenomenon that social security cards are stolen.

4. Especially in the application of public services, the functions of the third-generation bank card are more perfect, covering library borrowing, credit card swiping in scenic spots, subsidies for benefiting farmers and people, etc. The services provided by different regions are different. For example, in Harbin, there is no "contactless transaction" function at present. In some scenic spots in Fuzhou, Fujian, the service of "checking health code every second" with social security cards has been realized.

In addition, the third generation social security card can be used as a bus card, and cardholders can swipe their cards in more than 300 cities across the country, which is convenient for the elderly to travel. After the launch of this function, the elderly do not need to apply for a "free ride card for the elderly" when taking the bus, and a social security card can facilitate travel.

6. It should be noted that although the third generation of social security cards has been officially put into use, it does not mean that the first two generations of social security cards will withdraw from the social security service system. Many people have heard the saying that if the second-generation social security card is not replaced by the third-generation social security card within the time limit, it will affect the collection of social security benefits such as endowment insurance.

7. This statement is taken out of context, because the first and second generation social security cards currently used by the insured in China are all standard cards in China. It is the same as the third generation social security card in the application of medical treatment and drug purchase. Only a few special people need to change their cards in time. This group is the people who retired after the issuance of the third-generation social security card. They need to change to the latest generation of social security cards to receive pensions. For other insured persons, card replacement is not mandatory. Moreover, there is no date limit for the service of replacing the third-generation social security card, and the insured can handle it at any time according to their own needs.

Generally speaking, the validity period of each social security card is ten years, but this does not mean that a card can only be used for ten years, but that its financial function can be maintained for ten years after activation. But after ten years, if you need to see a doctor and buy medicine, it will not affect the use. If it is not lost or damaged, there is not much need to replace it. The specific methods of using social security cards shall be subject to the specific provisions.
