How long does it take to apply for social security for newborns?

Newborn social security should be handled within three months after birth.

The materials required for newborn social security are as follows:

1, household registration book and copy. Bring the original and photocopy of the household registration book, and copy the first page of the household registration book and the baby page;

2. ID card and its copy/ID number. Generally, I need my ID card to apply for medical insurance, because the age requirements for applying for ID cards are different in some places. If you don't have an ID card, you need to provide your ID number.

3. Photo of guardian and insured, 2-inch photo, 4 photos.

The procedure of social security for newborns is as follows:

1. First, you should apply for a birth certificate in the hospital where the child was born, and then take the child's birth certificate and ID card to the police station where you live (any nanny can) to apply for a household registration book or add a household registration for the child;

2. Then the down payment of newborn social security needs to be paid by the social security office in the local administrative service hall, and the staff of the social security bureau will issue a payment certificate;

3. Bring the proof of payment, the child's household registration book, a one-inch photo with a white background to the local bank, and fill out the form to apply for a medical insurance card.

4. Because it takes a long time to make the social security card, if you need it urgently, you can first set up a temporary medical insurance card in the social security card handling information center in the administrative service hall, with a time limit of three months, and you can replace it when it expires.

The purpose of social security for newborns is as follows:

1. Newborns are insured within three months of birth and enjoy medical treatment from the date of birth, that is, medical expenses incurred from the date of birth can be reimbursed. If you are not insured for more than three months after birth, you will enjoy medical treatment from the next month, that is, the medical expenses incurred from the date of birth to the month of insurance cannot be reimbursed;

2. Newborns need to take photos to the social security center to change their social security cards after 6 weeks of enrollment. For preschool children, because of the great changes in appearance, they can always use social security cards without photos, but after 6 years old, it is recommended to change to social security cards with baby photos.

To sum up, it is best to apply for a newborn medical insurance card within three months of birth. Because many places have opened "green channels" for babies, babies can apply for medical insurance cards within three months of birth and enjoy medical insurance benefits from the date of birth. If it is handled within three months to one year old, it will enjoy the rights and interests of medical insurance from the next month. Those over one year old will have to wait until the second year of 65438+ 10/to enjoy medical insurance benefits.
