The social security card is not activated. Can I have another one?

If the social security card is not activated, you can get another one.

But generally it is not necessary. Inactive social security cards will not expire, nor will they affect the use of other functions, but they have no financial functions. Cardholders only need to bring their social security cards and identity documents to the bank designated by the social security cards for activation. If you can't do it in person due to special circumstances, you can also entrust your family to activate it on your behalf, but you need to bring a power of attorney and valid documents from both parties. In addition, online activation services have been launched in many regions, which can be activated through channels such as designated bank WeChat official account or social security bureau WeChat official account official website.

The query method of social security card account balance is as follows:

1, medical insurance designated pharmacies and hospitals. The insured person can directly hold the social security card to the designated pharmacy or hospital for medical insurance. Generally, when using social security cards for consumption, you can see the balance of social security cards on the small tickets issued by designated pharmacies or hospitals;

2. Service hotline inquiry. Call the service hotline 12333, and then follow the voice prompts to check the balance of the social security card account;

3, social security website query. Nowadays, social security bureaus in many cities have their own websites. The insured person needs to log in to the local social security network, and then can check the account balance on the social security details page.

To sum up, you can apply for another inactive social security card, but usually you only need to activate it, and you don't need to apply again.
