Why can't social security be used?

Legal analysis: 1. Card not activated:

Many people go directly to the hospital pharmacy to see a doctor and buy medicine after getting the social security card, but in this case, they can't use the social security card. Because the social security card must be activated to use it. You need to activate your social security card at the issuing bank before you can use it. Moreover, the social security card has two accounts. If only one of them is activated, the available functions will be incomplete. Everyone needs to activate two accounts.

2. Abnormal card status:

If your social security card can't be used, it may be because your social security card has problems, such as degaussing and chip damage. In this case, you have to take the social security card to the bank outlet to solve it.

3. The card is locked:

The social security card has a password, and sometimes you need to enter the password to use it. However, if the social security card password is entered incorrectly for three consecutive times, it will be locked. If the card is locked, it cannot be used, and it must be unlocked before it can be used.

4. Social security is not paid in time or in arrears.

If you stop paying social security, it may also lead to the invalidation of social security cards. Because social security will suspend your medical insurance benefits, you can only use the balance of your personal medical insurance account. However, if the social security contribution is cut off, the Social Security Bureau will definitely stop drawing money into the personal account of medical insurance. And if the money in the medical insurance personal account runs out, you can't use the social security card any more.
