Does the social security card need annual certification?

The state requires retirees to go to the local social security bureau for a survival certificate once a year, which means that the elderly residents who receive pensions are still alive and meet the conditions for continuing to receive pensions. According to the state regulations, all enterprises, retirees and subsistence allowance recipients who receive social security pensions should go to the local social security bureau for survival certificates at least once a year; Its purpose is to stop the black hole of pension loss and avoid the occurrence of pension fraud. Certification is carried out throughout the year and once every 12 months. If it fails to be certified within the time limit, the treatment will be suspended, and the treatment will be resumed and reissued around the 25th of the next month after certification.
