How many generations of social security cards are there?

This card has been read for generations by looking at the front of the card and the printing time of the social security card.

1. Look at the front of the card: In addition to the cardholder's name, social security number, social security card number, bank card number and other information, the second-generation social security card has a QR code on the front, while the third-generation social security card does not have such a QR code.

2. Look at the printing time of social security cards: the second-generation social security cards were issued before 20 12, with printing time on the back of the cards, and the third-generation social security cards were issued on 20 14, without printing time.
