I have a social security card, but what if the company wants to apply for another one?

Legal analysis: It is normal for a person to have multiple social security cards, because the social security system is not networked between different provinces. If you are insured in different provinces, there will be social security cards in different provinces. Or earlier, different cities in the same province are not connected to the internet, and there will be social security cards in different cities if you change your insurance coverage. There are two social security cards, which does not mean that both parties pay for insurance normally. Let's see if you participated in employee social security (paid by the employer) or just bought basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents (new rural cooperative medical system) before you came to your hometown. If you buy employee social security in your hometown, you can transfer it to the original insured place. If you buy the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in your hometown (the new rural cooperative medical system), you don't have to pay attention to it, and you don't need to handle any business. The employer may not participate in the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents under the condition that the insured pays the fees normally.
