Will the social security card be automatically cancelled when people die?

Legal analysis: it will not be cancelled automatically. It is necessary to issue a death certificate to the police station where the household registration is located, and apply to the social security service center with the household registration book and the relevant valid documents of the relatives of the deceased.

Legal basis: Article 49 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. If an unemployed person dies during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits, he shall pay a one-time funeral subsidy and pension to his survivors with reference to the provisions on the death of local employees. The required funds are paid from the unemployment insurance fund. If an individual dies and meets the conditions for receiving basic old-age insurance, industrial injury insurance and unemployment insurance funeral subsidies, his survivors can only choose to receive one of them.
