Can social security cards in different regions be used universally?

Social security cards in different regions cannot be used universally. Details are as follows:

1. At present, the social security card has not been popularized in China. Because the current social security policy is coordinated by provinces and cities, there is no national coordination;

2. At present, all provinces and cities in China cannot transfer the medical insurance relationship. Only employee pension insurance can be transferred nationwide. At present, the policy is to transfer only 8% of personal accounts without overall planning. However, the total wage base paid by individuals should be transferred, which is not big for personal influence, but only the increase or decrease of provinces and cities.

The social security card has the following functions:

1, social security card records personal social security related information, electronic certificate and information inquiry, etc. ;

2. Record the insured's name, ID number, date of birth, gender, nationality, household registration and other basic information;

3. You can inquire about my pension, unemployment, medical care, work injury and maternity insurance payment;

4. You can take the card to the hospital and go to the pharmacy to buy medicine;

5, can handle medical care, unemployment, pension, work injury and maternity and other social security affairs;

6. You can query the total amount of endowment insurance and medical insurance.

Legal basis: Article 64 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Social insurance funds include basic endowment insurance fund, basic medical insurance fund, industrial injury insurance fund, unemployment insurance fund and maternity insurance fund. In addition to the basic medical insurance fund and maternity insurance fund combined accounting, other social insurance funds are accounted for separately according to social insurance types. Social insurance funds implement a unified accounting system throughout the country.

The social insurance fund is earmarked for special purposes, and no organization or individual may occupy or misappropriate it. The basic old-age insurance fund will gradually implement national overall planning, and other social insurance funds will gradually implement provincial overall planning. The specific time and steps shall be stipulated by the State Council.
