Is unemployment card related to social security?

Legal analysis: It doesn't matter much. The unemployment certificate only proves that the current working status is unemployed. You can take it to a new unit for employment, employment registration, and pay insurance after completion. Therefore, it is required to apply for unemployment certificate before paying social security, so as to make the social security payment period continuous.

Legal basis: According to Article 16 of the State Council's Unemployment Insurance Regulations, urban enterprises and institutions shall issue certificates of termination or dissolution of labor relations for unemployed people in time, informing them to enjoy the rights of unemployment insurance benefits in accordance with regulations, and report the list of unemployed people to social insurance agencies for filing within 7 days from the date of termination or dissolution of labor relations.

After the employees of urban enterprises and institutions are unemployed, they should hold the certificate of termination or dissolution of labor relations issued by the unit and go to the designated social insurance agency for unemployment registration in time. Unemployment insurance is calculated from the date of unemployment registration.
