What to do if the medical insurance card has not been activated for several years

Social security card can not be used if it is not activated.

I, social security card how to activate:

Participants in the receipt of social security cards need to be activated within six months, otherwise the original health insurance card will limit the use.

1, the participants need to take their own social security card, the original proof of identity to the corresponding bank branch to activate the social security card, activation of the health insurance account will be restored to normal.

2. Use the social security card to directly activate the social security function in the designated hospitals for medical insurance. The first time a participant uses a social security card at a designated medical institution, he or she only needs to register for outpatient or inpatient services, and then the social security function can be activated directly.

3. When using the social security card for the first time at a designated pharmacy, the insured person inserts the original medical insurance card and then inserts the social security card according to the requirements, and then the social security card can be activated.

2. The social security card has an expiration date.

The current social security card is a financial card, to put it bluntly, there is no difference between him and an ordinary debit card, and debit cards have a validity period, as for the validity period is how long, different bank regulations are not the same, some banks are 10 years, some 20 years, the longest possible up to 30 years.

It's the same for social security cards, which have an expiration date when they're issued, just different expiration dates for different places and different banks.

Third, what happens when the expiration date of the social security card expires?

We also mentioned that the social security card is valid, short of 10 years long may be 20 years, in the social security card after the validity of what to do? In fact, it is very simple, you only need to take the ID card to the bank to replace the social security card can be, the procedure is very simple.

Four, social security card long-term inactivity will have what effect?

If the social security card is still valid, even if you do not activate, in fact, there is no effect, if you do not have to retirement time, it is just an account used to pay social security. As long as this account exists, the unit can directly pay the social security fees to this account, and then in the social security office on the payment record. But if people don't activate their social security cards when they reach retirement, it's a little difficult to collect their pensions.

All over the world, social security cards are now required to be upgraded to financial social security cards, and pensions everywhere are now mainly credited to financial social security cards, and usually retired elderly people have to take their social security cards to the bank to withdraw money, or to open a cell phone bank as well as online banking to transfer the money out for consumption.

If you don't activate your card and take it directly to the bank, it won't work, because you have to activate any debit card before you can use its financial features.
