Can the social security card be used normally after it has expired?

There is no need to re-apply for the social security card when it expires, and it can continue to be used if its function is normal. After the expiration of the social security card, if the function of the card is normal, it does not need to be renewed, and it can continue to be used without being limited by the validity period. If the social security card is damaged and needs to be replaced, I or others can take my ID card, the client's ID card and the damaged social security card to the social security card replacement outlet to go through the relevant formalities.
