Can I still use the social security card after replacement?

No, the old medical insurance card will automatically become invalid after the new medical insurance card is activated, so it cannot be used. The old medical insurance card can continue to be used until the new social security card is activated. After the new medical insurance card is activated, the insured should not continue to use the old medical insurance card, because when the bank computer system detects that the old medical insurance card is still in use, it will not issue an operation instruction to transfer funds.

First, how to activate the social security card?

1, bank activated. Bring my valid ID and social security card to the financial outlet corresponding to the social security card to activate the social security card. Listen to some netizens who activated the social security card and say that when the bank activates the social security card financial account, the social security card personal account will also be activated. You can ask the bank staff when activating the social security card.

2. Social Security Center. Bring my valid ID card and social security card to the local social security center to activate the social security card. Or call the social security service hotline, according to voice prompts or transfer manual services, and provide information such as my ID card and social security card to activate the social security card.

3. The designated hospitals and pharmacies are activated. When the insured uses the social security card for the first time in the designated medical insurance pharmacy, he inserts the original medical insurance card, and then inserts the social security card as required to activate the social security card. This method is the simplest and quickest way to activate the social security card. You can try it at the pharmacy.

It should be noted that after activating social security, it is recommended to change the initial password at the first time to prevent the social security card from being lost and stolen. In addition, if you are not sure whether the social security card is lost, you can report the loss in advance and temporarily lock the medical insurance card to prevent others from stealing the medical insurance card and causing losses.

2. What are the characteristics of the new social security card?

Compared with the old social security card, the new social security card has improved in function and security performance.

Social security card is a single-chip dual-interface social security card based on the unified deployment and overall requirements of the People's Bank of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and China, adopting the technical specifications of the third generation social security card, using state secret algorithms, loading digital certificates and supporting financial functions. It has social security application functions such as identification, information recording, self-service inquiry, medical treatment settlement, payment and treatment collection, as well as financial application functions such as cash deposit and withdrawal, transfer and consumption.

The new social security card can be used to handle social security affairs such as endowment insurance, medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and unemployment insurance. At the same time, due to the adoption of national standards, retirees and eligible referral personnel resettled in different places in this city can hold the new social security card and settle the inter-provincial hospitalization expenses in real time through the inter-provincial real-time settlement networking system.

This is a highlight of the new social security card upgrade. The relevant person in charge of the district social security card service center said that in the past, the old social security card could not directly settle all kinds of medical expenses in different places, so it was necessary to pay all the expenses first, and then return to the local area for reimbursement with various invoices and receipts. However, the new social security card, whether it is the settlement of medical expenses for medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance, or the information service of medical treatment process such as registration, diagnosis and treatment, hospitalization registration and drug purchase, has realized the interoperability between different places and local areas.

To sum up, another major upgrade of the new social security card is the addition of financial services. Applicants can voluntarily choose the relevant service bank to open the financial service function of social security card, which can be used for cash deposit, withdrawal, transfer and consumption.
