Are social security card and housing accumulation fund card one card?

Two cards are not the same card. Generally speaking, social security cards are more useful than medical insurance cards, and sometimes social security cards also enjoy the role of medical insurance cards. However, if it is a medical insurance card, it is likely that it is only the function of seeing a doctor and treating a disease, and there is already a gap in the functions enjoyed. Under normal circumstances, in some employers or enterprises, it is stipulated to buy social insurance, which is also commonly known as social security. So when you apply for a job, you will also buy certain social insurance for your employees. However, if you do not apply for social insurance, it will generally be approved and paid by the agency handled by the social security office.

Details are as follows:

1, social security card and provident fund card are not the same card. Social security cards are mainly used to pay pensions, buy medicines and see a doctor and be used as bank cards. Provident fund card can be used to receive housing provident fund;

2. The social security card is issued by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of the insured place, and the housing provident fund card is issued by the local housing provident fund management center. Because social security cards and provident fund cards are issued by two different institutions, the issuing banks may also be different.

Provident fund is a compulsory savings plan stipulated by the state, aiming at providing housing security and other financial support for employees. Different from the social security card, the provident fund is not in the social security card, but a special account opened independently and managed by the housing provident fund management center. Specifically, each employee's provident fund account is opened by the unit to the local housing provident fund management center, and then the provident fund paid by the employee is remitted to the personal account. Every month, units and individuals will pay into the provident fund account according to a certain proportion, which will be managed by the housing provident fund management center, including account balance inquiry, withdrawal and loan. It should be noted that not everyone can open a provident fund account, and only employees who meet certain conditions are eligible to participate in the provident fund deposit. In addition, there are strict restrictions on the use of funds in the provident fund account, which can only be used for specific purposes, such as buying houses, decorating and renting houses.
