What will happen if the social security card is not activated for five years?

If the social security card is not activated, it cannot be used normally. The social security card needs to be activated before it can be used normally. However, medical insurance can only be used normally if the insured person has paid for it continuously for 3 months. In other words, the use of medical insurance can only take effect in the fourth month after enrollment.
