The social security card has not been activated for seven years. Is it still valid now?

The social security card has not been activated for almost a year, and the use of this card will be restricted.

The new social security card will be restricted if it is not activated for 6 months after receiving the card.

The social security card holder shall activate the social security card within 6 months after receiving the card, during which the medical insurance card can still be used normally. After activating the social security card, the original medical insurance card will automatically become invalid. If it is not activated within the time limit, the original medical insurance card will be restricted.

For those who are overdue, the insured should activate the social security card at the bank with a valid ID card and social security card as soon as possible. After activating the social security card, the balance of the medical insurance account is automatically transferred to the social security card, and the medical insurance account returns to normal.

The list of units whose cards have been stopped can be found in the social security card column of the human resources and social security network. After the medical insurance account is activated, it will return to normal state, and the new social security card can be used without loss.

The activation time of the new social security card is within 6 months from the date when the insured or the insured unit handles the card from the social security card processing window.
