What exactly is the use of a social security card, I'm drawing a complete blank here.

The role of social security is roughly as follows, namely:

1, you can enjoy medical insurance, when you have a disease, you can be timely diagnosis and treatment and the state to bear the corresponding costs.

2. When you reach the legal retirement age or retire early, you can get a pension, which will be paid until the end of your life.

3. Those injured at work can apply for work injury recognition and labor capacity appraisal, and enjoy corresponding work injury treatment according to law.

4. When you lose your job or during the period of inactivity, you can receive unemployment benefits for up to 24 months.

5. When a female colleague gives birth, she can enjoy the corresponding maternity allowance and so on.

With the increase in life expectancy per capita, the number of years to receive a pension after retirement, will be much higher than either the male age of 60 years old or the possibility of retirement in the future at the age of 65 years old many, in contrast, you are now paying or worth it.
