Does the first generation social security card need to be replaced by the second generation?

If necessary, it can be replaced by a second-generation social security card, because the first-generation social security card is just an ordinary card and has no financial functions such as cash deposit and withdrawal, transfer and consumption. The second-generation social security card has a built-in chip, which has financial functions such as cash deposit and withdrawal, transfer and consumption.

From the specific application point of view, the second-generation social security card, like the first-generation social security card, has both social security chips and bank magnetic strips that meet the standards of UnionPay. It can be applied to business functions such as medical insurance account, payment of various insurance benefits, premium collection and withholding, and banking functions such as cash deposit and withdrawal, collection and payment, remittance and consumption.

New card holders and new retirees will be the first to taste new products.
