Do I need to reactivate my social security card after I change it?

Legal analysis: need. After the social security card is reissued, the first thing to get a new card is activation. Because the social security card can't be used without activation. Moreover, it should be noted that the current social security card not only has an account, but also a social security account and a financial account. Therefore, in order to use all the functions of the social security card, two accounts must be activated. For example, only the social security account is activated, but the financial account is not activated. The social security card can only be used for issuing pensions and buying medicines for medical treatment. And it can't be used as a bank card. After all, the financial account has not been opened, and the social security card naturally cannot use its financial functions.

Legal basis: Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
