Can a person open two social security accounts in different provinces?

Social security is in the same area, and the same person cannot open two accounts.

1. It should be impossible to open two accounts in the same area, because the ID number is your account number and the ID number is unique. If there are two, there will be conflicts. Please check whether the account numbers of the two cards are consistent with your ID number. If it is inconsistent, please ask the human resources department of the company to correct the account number as soon as possible. If it is really two accounts with the same ID number, then the accounts should be merged. Inform the human resources department of your company first, and go through the relevant procedures after carefully asking the reasons.

2. If an individual has two endowment insurance accounts in a city, the merger depends on the specific situation. If the social security account is transferred across provinces, it depends on whether the cooperation and coordination mechanism of inter-provincial social security institutions has been established. If the insured has two pension accounts in the same city in different periods, it should be possible to calculate the payment period together according to law, but the accounts should not be combined. If the insured person has two pension accounts in the same city at the same time, the payment period can only be calculated according to one account, and the other account should be cancelled. After the insured cancels the pension account, he may ask the social security agency to return the funds in his personal account.
