How can the elderly check the balance of social security cards without mobile phones?

If the elderly don't have a smart phone to check the social security card balance, they can do so in the following ways:

1.** Counter inquiry * *: The elderly can directly go to the local social security bureau or the counter of the social security service center to ask the staff, and the staff will help to check the balance of the social security card.

2.** Self-service terminal * *: In some social security bureaus or public places such as hospitals and banks, there may be social security self-service inquiry machines, and social security cards can be used to inquire the balance on these self-service terminals.

3.** Telephone inquiry * *: In some areas, social security bureaus will provide service hotlines. You can inquire the balance of social security cards according to voice prompts or manual service by calling.

4.** Family help * *: If the elderly are inconvenient to inquire, they can entrust their children or relatives to use online services or mobile phone applications for help.

5.** Bank window * *: Because social security cards and bank cards usually have the function of joint names, the elderly can go to the counter of the issuing bank and ask the bank staff to check the balance of social security accounts.

6.** Post Office Inquiry * *: In some areas, the balance of social security cards can also be inquired through the post office service.

When making inquiries, the elderly need to bring their social security cards and ID cards to verify their identity. For the elderly who can't go in person, ensure that when entrusting others to inquire, the client carries the corresponding power of attorney and the identity certificates of both parties.
