What are the effects of invalid social security card

When the social security card is invalidated, the cardholder will not be able to enjoy social security benefits and carry out related business operations.

The social security card is an important document for the insured to enjoy the social security benefits. Once it is invalidated, the cardholder will not be able to swipe the card to seek medical treatment, purchase medicines, or carry out other social security-related business operations. For example, they will not be able to receive social security benefits such as pension and unemployment benefits, nor will they be able to handle social security transfer and retirement procedures.

The process of replacing a social security card includes the following steps:

Pre-loss: Pre-loss of social security card by phone, internet platform or directly to the card-issuing bank.

Written loss: go to the social security card service center with the original ID card or household register to make a written loss.

Application for Replacement: Fill in the Application Form for Replacement of Social Security Card and submit copies of relevant documents.

Payment of labor cost: Pay a certain labor cost.

Collecting the new card: wait for a certain period of time (about 15 working days), after which you can collect the new card at the designated place with your ID card and proof of card collection.

In summary, the expiration of the social security card will bring many inconveniences to the cardholder's daily life, so the cardholder should take good care of the card and use it properly to make sure that it is within the validity period and can be used normally.
