What is the use of social security cards issued in rural areas? Do I have to pay?

Legal analysis: no need to pay. First of all, the rural social security card is a kind of card that is generally collected by the state according to unified standards, and integrates the functions of payment of new rural cooperative medical system and rural endowment insurance, settlement of hospitalization medical treatment, and collection of pension. Because the social security card is connected with the bank, it also has the function of depositing and withdrawing money. Social security cards generally have the cardholder's name and identity information. , and even can be used as identification in some occasions.

Our local rural social security card is organized by the village to collect farmers' information, which is then produced by the higher authorities and finally distributed to every villager. For example, some villagers who go out or work all the year round and don't live in the countryside can give their personal data to the village Committee for handling on their behalf. In addition, even if centralized processing fails to catch up, individual applications can be made afterwards.
