Why do college students need social security cards?

I am glad to answer your question about how to apply for a social security card after graduating from college. Here is a detailed introduction to the social security card issued by the school. At present, there is only the medical insurance function, and the medical expenses can only be reduced. Other expenses (treatment fees, injection fees) must be paid at their own expense. After graduation, the original students' medical insurance card function will be automatically cancelled, and they can enjoy medical insurance benefits only by purchasing urban workers' medical insurance or residents' medical insurance separately. If the work unit and the school are in the same city, you can bring your ID card and social security card to the local social security center to get the password before you can activate it online. If you are not in the same city, you have to apply for it again, because the social security has not yet been networked nationwide, and the new social security card with the UnionPay logo can be used as a bank card. If necessary, you should also bring your ID card and social security card.
