How to use social security card

Legal analysis: 1. Used as an ID card. Because the cardholder's identity information and avatar are extracted from the social security card, the social security card can be temporarily used as an ID card when the ID card is not around.

2. Used as a bank card. There is also a chip on the social security card, just like a bank card, which can be used to deposit and withdraw money, but only if the cardholder needs to go to the bank to activate the financial account.

3. Used as a means of payment. Cardholders can pay by swiping their social security cards when they go to a hospital or pharmacy to see a doctor and buy medicines.

4. Used as a subsidy. Social security card covers unemployment insurance, pension insurance, maternity allowance and other subsidies. The unemployment insurance, maternity allowance, old-age insurance, pension, etc. received are all credited to the social security card.
