Is the social security card invalid if it is not activated?

The social security card cannot be used normally without activation. If it has not been activated for more than 6 months, the old card will be deactivated. The insured person needs to hold his social security card and the original identity certificate to the corresponding bank outlet window to activate the social security card.
