Can I still use the social security card after I do it?

Generally speaking, as long as you pay the social security fee for one month, you can apply for a social security card at the social security center. So, can the social security card still be used?

The social security card cannot be used directly, and it needs to be activated before it can be used. After the social security card is activated, as long as there is money in the account, it can be used at any time, including deposit and withdrawal, general outpatient treatment, drug purchase and so on.

However, it takes about half a year from applying for a social security card to getting it. Although you can enjoy social security benefits during this period, you need to go to the social security agency for reimbursement and cannot settle directly.

As for the medical insurance reimbursement function, you can generally enjoy this treatment in the second month of payment, which means that when the social security card is completed, it will definitely meet the reimbursement conditions.

In addition, the latest social security card also contains many livelihood functions, such as borrowing books and paying public and miscellaneous fees. These functions may need to be turned on separately.
