Is there an electronic social security card and social security?

Having an electronic social security card does not mean having social security. Social security requires employers to insure employees and pay social security fees according to regulations.

Electronic social security card is a convenient tool for employees to inquire and use social security services, but it does not mean that cardholders enjoy social security. Social security requires employers to insure employees and pay social security fees according to regulations. In China, the social insurance system is based on participation. As the payer of social security, employers need to pay social security fees for employees according to regulations, including five social security items: basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. After the employer pays the social insurance premium, the employees can enjoy the corresponding social insurance benefits, such as the pension of the basic old-age insurance and the reimbursement of the basic medical insurance. The function of electronic social security card is to facilitate employees to inquire and handle social security-related businesses, such as inquiring about social security benefits, printing social security certificates, applying for social security reimbursement, etc. However, in the case of not participating in social security or insufficient social security payment, the electronic social security card can not let employees enjoy social security benefits.

How to check if you have social security? Employees can check their social security through the social security bureau or their unit. Personal identity documents and social security cards need to be provided when inquiring. If you find yourself not participating in social security or not paying enough social security, you can consult with the employer or the social security bureau.

As a social security service tool, electronic social security card is convenient for employees to inquire and handle social security-related business. However, holding an electronic social security card does not mean enjoying social security benefits. Employers participate in social insurance and pay social security fees according to regulations, so employees can enjoy social security rights and interests.
