When will the social security card be canceled in 2022?

In 2022, the country updated the new provisions of the Chinese People's **** and State Social Insurance Regulations, under which companies are required to contribute to both insurance and housing provident funds for their employees, according to the Housing Provident Fund Management Regulations. The new regulations also adjusted the social insurance contribution base; it was changed from five types of insurance to four, and maternity insurance was included in medical insurance. It has been confirmed that individual health insurance accounts for residents will be abolished by the end of 2022. Pensions must be collected by social insurance and pension transfers can be processed online. This new provision makes Social Security more accessible and protects benefits for more people.

Legal basis

The Social Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 58 Employers shall apply for social insurance registration for their employees with the social insurance agency within 30 days from the date of employment. If the employer fails to register for social insurance, the social insurance agency shall approve the social insurance premiums to be paid by the employer. Individual entrepreneurs without employees who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time workers who do not participate in social insurance with their employers, and other flexibly employed persons shall apply for social insurance registration with the social insurance administration organization. The State establishes a nationally unified individual social security number. Individual social security numbers are citizens' identity numbers.
