Can the social security card be activated after seven years of inactivity?

After the bank is activated, the amount in the original medical insurance card account will be transferred to the medical insurance card. Basic information such as the cardholder's name, gender and citizenship number is recorded on the social security card face and card. The card identifies the cardholder's personal identity, employment, unemployment, retirement, etc. , and can record the cardholder's social insurance payment, pension insurance personal account information, medical insurance personal account information, professional qualifications and skills, working experience, work-related injuries and occupational diseases.
