Is the social security card universal or is there a geographical restriction?

Legal analysis: Social security cards have geographical restrictions. After working in another city, you need to transfer social security to a new city and apply for a new social security card. At present, China has not yet achieved national social security networking, and social security cards cannot be used nationwide. Social security failed to achieve national networking, and the transfer and connection procedures were not smooth, which not only affected the enthusiasm of participating in insurance, but also became an obstacle to the free flow of labor. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security proposed to complete the construction of the provincial universal enrollment registration system by the end of 20 15, and realize the full coverage of the data of the regions participating in the universal enrollment registration by the end of 20 17. At this year's two sessions, Minister of Health Zhu Chen once said that by 2020, the whole country will be connected to the Internet.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law stipulates that the part of the insured's medical expenses that should be paid by the basic medical insurance fund shall be directly settled by social insurance agencies, medical institutions and pharmaceutical trading units.

The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.
