Can a social security card be claimed on behalf of someone

Social security cards can be claimed on behalf of others. If the employer has declared social security registration for the worker in accordance with the law, it can collect the social security card on behalf of the worker, after which the worker can just go to the unit to collect the card; or if the worker has been notified to go to the social security agency to collect the card, he or she can entrust another person to collect the card on his or her behalf.

Article 57 of the Social Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that an employer shall, within thirty days from the date of its establishment and on the basis of its business license, certificate of registration, or seal of the employer, apply for registration of social insurance with the local social insurance agency. The social insurance agency shall examine and approve the application within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the application and issue the social insurance registration document. Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that employers shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for their employees. If the employer fails to register for social insurance, the social insurance agency shall authorize 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.
