Does it matter if you pay social security and don't apply for a card?

Legal analysis: the failure to receive social security cards has a great impact on individuals. I suggest you apply for a social security card as soon as possible after completing the relevant procedures. If you don't have a social security card, you can't spend money by credit card if you are sick or go to a pharmacy to buy medicine. In addition, hospitalization due to illness cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance in real time, and only procedures can be done later. It is worth noting that if you have been paying social security, but your social security card will not be cancelled, you can go to the social security center or the bank designated by the social security center at any time when necessary. However, within 300 days from the date of receiving the card, I need to use my valid ID card to activate at the cooperative bank outlet corresponding to the financial account, otherwise the card will be lost.

Legal basis: The Notice of the General Office of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Comprehensively Carrying out the Application of Electronic Social Security Cards has fully opened the issuance, authentication and payment services of electronic social security cards, widely covered social security card holders, realized the collaborative use of physical social security cards and electronic social security cards, and formed an online and offline integration, cross-regional full netcom and diversified integration social security card service ecosystem; Combined with the construction of a unified national social insurance service platform and intelligent employment service information platform, social services will be online and mobile, and online and offline services will be multi-purpose with one card and one network operation; Open social security card service capabilities and support more people's livelihood services.
