Do I need a password to use my social security card?

Social security cards can be used without passwords.

If you want to set the medical insurance card password, you can operate in the following ways:

1. Cardholders can call the hotline of the Social Security Bureau 12333 and make corrections through voice prompts.

2. Cardholders can also change their passwords at designated medical institutions and retail pharmacies or local social security bureaus with their ID cards.

Insured employees can swipe their cards on POS machines with passwords when purchasing medicines in designated hospitals and pharmacies, but they cannot withdraw cash or transfer money.

If you accidentally lose it, please immediately issue a letter of proof to the unit and stamp it in the medical insurance office for confirmation.
