What is the social security number?

Social security number is the national unified individual social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.

Social security numbers distinguish between individuals and units. The company's social security number is the social security registration number established by the work unit, which is used to pay social security for employees, and make some inquiries, declarations and statistics according to this social security number. Personal social security number is the login number of the individual or the company that pays for it, and it is also the basis for enjoying the treatment in the future.

At present, many cities use social security number (citizen ID number) as personal insurance number.

Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law stipulates that the employer shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.

The number on the social security card is my ID number, while the number on the registration form is the system number set for the convenience of management, which is the only identification of the insured in the social security system. Some people's personal social security numbers and ID numbers are inconsistent, which has no effect on the insured's pension, medical insurance, work injury insurance and other preferential treatments.
