I don't work in a factory. Is the social security card still useful

Legal analysis: If you don't work and go to the social security department to pay flexible employees, you can still see a doctor with a social security card. If you don't apply for insurance payment and the social security card is in a deactivated state, then the card can only brush the balance of the personal account of medical insurance when you see a doctor, all at your own expense, and you can't enjoy the overall treatment of medical insurance or submit an expense account.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 2 The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance, so as to guarantee citizens' right to receive material assistance from the state and society in accordance with the law in case of old age, illness, industrial injury, unemployment and maternity.

Article 3 The social insurance system adheres to the principles of wide coverage, basic protection, multi-level and sustainability, and the level of social insurance should be compatible with the level of economic and social development.
