Does the social security card need to be activated before it can be used?

Legal analysis: you need to go to the bank to activate. There are two ways to activate the new social security card. First, the public went to the Social Security Bureau to apply for a new card, and the social security card was activated on the spot. At this time, the social security function will take effect immediately. Now many units collectively collect cards and distribute them to employees. In this case, the social security function of the social security card will be activated 96 hours after receiving the card. Only when citizens hold a new social security card to the bank for activation can they use the function of the bank card. Whether the bank card function is activated or not does not affect the social security function.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.
