Can a person have two social security card accounts at the same time?

According to national regulations, a person can only have one social security account in the same city, and multiple social security accounts can be held nationwide at the same time, but only one account can be in the payment state.

For example, if you are registered in Beijing, you have a social security account in Beijing in 2005, worked in Shanghai in 2007, and also paid social security in Shanghai. In 2008, you also had a social security account in Shandong, which is allowed by the state, but you can only pay one account at the same time. In other words, if the social security account in Beijing is still paid in 2008, the accounts in Shanghai and Shandong will not be paid. If the account in Shandong is paid, then the account in Beijing and Shanghai will definitely be closed. If the payment is made at the same time, the state can only charge according to one account when calculating the pension, and the other two accounts are not included in the pension calculation. Maybe you can pay back the original amount when you retire.

In addition: At present, according to national regulations, social security accounts can only be transferred to the domicile. According to the example just now, that is to say, you can only transfer the social security accounts of Shandong and Shanghai to Beijing and merge them.
