What if the social security card has not been activated for too long?

The new social security card will have a six-month activation period. If you don't go through the activation procedures within 6 months, you can't enjoy medical insurance benefits. If you have applied for a medical insurance card before, you can continue to use the old medical insurance card within 6 months, and then it will be invalid and cannot be used again. The social security card has not been activated for six months, and the medical insurance is in a state of suspension. Therefore, it is recommended to activate it within six months after getting a new social security card. To activate the social security card, you need to bring your ID card and other information to the designated banking institution. After verifying your personal information, the bank sets a unique password and the social security card is activated successfully. Legal basis: Article 70 of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). The state develops social insurance, establishes a social insurance system and a social insurance fund, so that workers can get help and compensation in cases of old age, illness, work injury, unemployment and maternity.
