Should the social security card be cancelled after the death of the old man?

This is because the social security card is related to the individual's social security rights and interests. The death of the elderly means the termination of their social security rights and interests, and it is necessary to cancel the social security card to stop the issuance of related rights and interests.

First, the necessity of canceling the social security card

Social security card, as a certificate of personal social security rights and interests, may cause some unnecessary troubles if it is not cancelled in time after the death of the elderly. For example, the social security department may continue to issue pensions and other benefits to the social security card of the deceased elderly, which will not only cause a waste of social security funds, but also cause disputes between family members and the social security department.

Second, the social security card cancellation process

1. Prepare relevant documents: including old people's ID cards, death certificates, family members' identification certificates, etc.

2. Go to the social security department: Take the above documents to the social security department where the elderly are located to go through the cancellation procedures.

3. Fill in the application form for cancellation: fill in the application form for cancellation of social security card according to the requirements of the social security department and submit relevant certification materials.

4. Go through the cancellation procedures: after the social security department verifies that it is correct, go through the cancellation procedures of the social security card and recover the cancelled social security card.

Third, matters needing attention

When going through the cancellation procedures of social security cards, family members should ensure that the documents provided are true and effective, and avoid unnecessary legal disputes caused by providing false materials. At the same time, family members should also keep abreast of the relevant policies of the social security department to ensure that the cancellation procedures can be handled smoothly.

To sum up:

After the death of the old man, the family members should cancel the social security card at the social security department in time to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes. In the process of handling, we should ensure that the documents provided are true and valid, and abide by the relevant regulations of the social security department.
