First, the social security card has not been activated for 8 years. Can I activate it now?

I can't. The social security card will be restricted if it is not activated for 6 months after receiving the card.

The social security card holder shall activate the social security card within 6 months after receiving the card, during which the medical insurance card can still be used normally. After activating the social security card, the original medical insurance card will automatically become invalid. If it is not activated within the time limit, the original medical insurance card will be restricted. It should be noted that the list of units that stopped the card can be inquired in the social security card column of the human resources and social security network. After the medical insurance account is activated, it will return to normal state, and the new social security card can be used without loss.

Insured persons who have received social security cards must show their social security cards when seeking medical treatment in designated medical institutions that have opened card-based medical settlement services. If the social security card is not presented, the expenses incurred shall be borne by the individual in full, and the medical insurance fund cannot pay it. The insured shall take the initiative to show the certificate of new replacement (replacement) of the social security card when applying for replacement (replacement) of the social security card during medical treatment in designated medical institutions.

Second, what should I pay attention to when activating the social security card?

When the social security card is activated, both accounts must be activated, one is the social security account and the other is the financial account.

1, social security account is activated. Generally, there are initial passwords such as 000000 or 123456. The cardholder activates and modifies the password at the same time at the designated pharmacy, hospital, card issuing institution, social security office and other places. It can be used normally in the hospital pharmacy in the future, and the card can be reimbursed in the hospital. Every month, a sum of money will be returned to the social security card for employees to participate in insurance, while urban and rural residents only have a drug purchase quota of 100 yuan per year.

2. Financial account activation. Similarly, financial accounts also have initial passwords. The cardholder holds the valid ID card of the social security card to the bank where the social security card is opened, activates the account with the help of the bank staff, and modifies the password at the same time. Then there is a bank card without any fees, which can get all kinds of social security expenses in time, such as maternity reimbursement, work injury reimbursement and unemployment benefits, all of which must be paid through the financial account.
