Do I need to change my social security card when I change cities?

Legal analysis: need. Employees need to change their social security cards after job-hopping in cities. Because different provinces and cities have different social security payment bases and different social incomes, they can enjoy different social security. Therefore, at present, the social security cards in three regions in China are not uniform. If you change your workplace, you need to apply for a new social security card. If the medical insurance cards in the two cities are not universal, then keep the original medical insurance card, and the medical insurance amount in it can be used up after buying medicine.
