What should I do after replacing the old social security card with a new one?

When the social security card is changed in the same bank, the original card can still be used. When citizens get a new card, the bank will recycle the old card and cancel it.

After the settlement of the old card funds is completed, the funds in the old card will be transferred to the new card account at the same time. When a citizen replaces a cooperative bank with a new card, the original card is cancelled and recycled by the original cooperative bank and cannot be used again.

Within 10 working days after the citizens receive the new card, they will complete the fund settlement of the original card account and transfer it to the new card account opened by the new cooperative bank for the same cardholder. Check the amount of social security card returned every month at ATM, and you can consult the Social Security Bureau.

The method of activating the social security card is as follows:

1. Enter the password of the original medical insurance card with the new card in the designated pharmacy to activate the new card directly. After the social security card is activated, the original medical insurance card password will still be used;

2. Use social security cards in designated hospitals to directly enable social security functions;

3. Enable the social security function while enabling the financial function of the social security card;

4. Start the social security function directly in the social security card management center.
