I have a new social security card. Is the old one still usable?

The old card will stop using after the individual has applied for a new card and activated it; If a new card has not been issued, the original social security card can continue to be used. In other words, if the cardholder changes to a new social security card, the old social security card will not be available. The social security card has two accounts: the social security card account is used for human resources and social security business; Bank card account has financial application functions such as cash deposit and withdrawal, transfer consumption and flash payment.

Social security card needs to be replaced when it expires. The replacement method is as follows:

1. When the card surface is dirty, incomplete or illegible, or the chip is damaged and cannot be read or written on special equipment, the cardholder shall go through the card replacement formalities at any branch of the card-issuing bank within the jurisdiction of this Municipality with the original and photocopy of his ID card and social security card;

2. If the photo on the card surface is changed, the cardholder shall go through the card replacement procedures at any branch of the card-issuing bank within the jurisdiction of this Municipality with his ID card, social security card and the original and photocopy of the photo receipt;

3. If the cardholder's personal basic information (including name and ID number) changes, the cardholder should first bring the relevant valid documents (original and photocopy) to the social security agency to which the insured belongs to handle the personal basic information change, and then bring the relevant valid documents (original and photocopy) and social security card to any branch of the city's card-issuing bank to handle the personal basic information change and card replacement procedures.

After the expiration of the social security card, the replacement process is as follows:

(1) When the cardholder handles it, the cardholder will go to the social security card service agency and online service platform to handle the replacement and replacement of the social security card with his ID card or social security card;

(2) If the agent handles the social security card, the agent must hold the agent's ID card, cardholder's ID card or social security card.
