Picture differences between the first generation, the second generation and the third generation of social security cards

From the name, we can feel that the third generation social security card is an upgraded version of the first and second generations, and the card surface, function, security and service have been better optimized.

First of all, the cards are more unified. Due to the overall planning at the provincial level, the third generation social security cards in all provinces generally adopt a unified style, and the word "one card" has been added to highlight the one-card function of social security cards.

Secondly, the function is more convenient. In fact, the function is not much different from that of the old card, but it only emphasizes convenience, such as adding cooperative bank outlets to facilitate the people to choose independently.

Zhejiang province has added the non-contact function of "flash passing", which is more secure. It is convenient for future pensions, unemployment benefits and subsidies to be distributed through this card and directly credited to personal accounts.

Finally, in terms of services, the third-generation social security card will fully support the functions of real-time medical insurance settlement and "transportation link" nationwide.

Since the third-generation social security card has so many powerful functions, will the first-generation and second-generation social security cards be completely replaced after the official issuance, so that the first-generation and second-generation social security cards can no longer be used normally?

The answer is: after the issuance of the third generation social security card, it will not affect the normal use of the first and second generation social security cards. Even in areas with high epidemic risk, people are encouraged to continue to use the first and second generation social security cards. At the beginning of the issuance, people are also expected to arrange the application and replacement time reasonably to avoid the crowded hall for applying for the third generation social security card.

It is worth noting that in areas where the third-generation social security card has been issued, if the original social security card is lost, the third-generation social security card can only be reissued, because after the third-generation social security card is officially issued, the first and second-generation social security cards will stop processing.

The official issuance of the third-generation social security card facilitates all aspects of people's lives, so everyone should be happy and hope that more and more regions can officially issue the third-generation social security card as soon as possible.
