Why does everyone need a social security card?

Social security card processing is only for the insured units and communities, and is handled by the units and communities in a unified manner. Insured persons need to apply for social security cards in their insured units and communities. The insured must carry a copy of the ID card (double-sided copy). Insured persons who have not applied for the second-generation ID card or lost the second-generation ID card should provide a copy of their household registration page, and special people should provide a copy of special documents (such as disability certificate, work injury certificate, minimum living allowance, etc.). ). Because individuals pay their own social security, the amount of social security contributions will be higher than before, and individuals bear all the costs of paying social security, which is different from enterprises in terms of payment base and payment ratio rules.
