Is the social security card issued by the company or collected by yourself?

Whether the social security card is issued by the unit or received by the individual has the following two situations:

1. Individual workers who are insured shall be handled by individuals, and the social security fees shall be paid by individuals. As long as you go to the social security cooperative bank outlets and submit personal ID cards, photos, application forms and other materials, you can apply for social security cards. Personal social security fees are paid once a year;

2 employees insured, the social security card shall be handled by the unit, and the social security fee shall also be paid by the unit. The social security fee is collected from the unit by the local taxation bureau at the beginning of each month, so as long as the employee goes to work for half a month, the unit needs to pay the social security fee for the employee this month, and the employee needs to bear the personal social security payment this month.
