What happens if the social security card is not activated?

The social security card cannot be used normally without activation. Within 6 months from the date of receiving the card, the cardholder must hold the original ID card to activate in the corresponding cooperative bank of the financial account, otherwise the social security card will be reported lost. If you apply for a new social security card, the deactivation of the old card will not affect the new card. But the new card must be activated, otherwise the original medical insurance card will be restricted. There are many ways to activate social security cards. Generally speaking, these three kinds are more common:

1. Activate the card on the spot, and then take the social security card to the bank to activate the financial account.

2. Call 12333 to activate the phone.

3. The social security card will be activated automatically when you go to the hospital.

If you want to transfer to the social security bureau to open a transfer letter, just hand it over to the receiving social security bureau. The other is that the social security bureaus of the two places contact each other and transfer the money. It is estimated that it will take several months to arrive. Individuals need to apply for activation within six months after receiving the social security card. If the activation business is not handled in time, the use of the original medical insurance card will be restricted. The insured person needs to activate the social security card at the corresponding bank outlet with his social security card and the original identity certificate. After successful activation, the medical insurance account returned to normal. Social security (individual) cards are issued to urban employees, unemployed people and retirees, and social security (employer) cards are issued to employers. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that it will take about five years to make social security cards generally have financial functions.
