Can the social security card run by rural hometown be used in other places?

Social security cards can be used in different places, but there will be certain restrictions. The use of social security cards in different places generally refers to the use of medical insurance in different places, which requires the insured to handle medical insurance filing in different places. If you are hospitalized in a different place because of an emergency, you can call the hotline of the social security agency in the insured place first, and then file the medical insurance in a different place after obtaining the consent. After filing, you can use medical insurance in different places for reimbursement, or you can keep relevant information and apply for reimbursement of medical expenses at the social security institution in the insured place after discharge.

What is the process of transferring foreign social security back to local social security?

1. Before the insured person moves across provinces, he/she shall issue the Certificate of Payment of Basic Old-age Insurance to the social security agency of the original insured place;

2. The insured holds the payment voucher, household registration book, ID card, etc. Until the social security agency of the new place of employment handles the continuation relationship;

3. The social security agency in the new place of employment will review whether the applicant meets the requirements within 15 working days;

4. After receiving the contact letter 15 working days, the social security agency of the original insured place will clear up whether the applicant's insurance payment is in arrears and handle the transfer of the old-age insurance fund, terminate the applicant's local insurance relationship, and issue the basic old-age insurance relationship transfer and connection information form to the new insured place;

5. The social security institution of the newly insured place shall complete the relevant procedures within 15 working days after receiving the information form and the transfer fund.

In summary, we need to look at the scope of the so-called "field" first. If it is in the same province, you can use the social security card. However, if the so-called "foreign" scope is inter-provincial, then the social security card cannot be used elsewhere. Although some cities in China have opened the function of using social security cards in different places, it is difficult to realize the universal use of social security cards because of the inconsistent standards of social security payment and reimbursement among provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
