How long can the second-generation social security card be used?

Our second-generation social security card was first popularized in 2008~2009. At the time of business card printing, it is true that each social security card is marked with the validity period of 10 year. The formulation of the validity period is not limited by the system, nor is it required by banks. It mainly takes into account the chip life of social security cards, card wear, personal appearance changes and other factors to encourage people to change their cards as soon as possible. If people don't change their cards in time, the cards can generally be used normally.

The restrictions on the use of the card have nothing to do with the bank. Generally speaking, the validity period of bank credit cards is 3 to 5 years, and the validity period of credit cards and debit cards is generally 10 years. However, these time limits are only set by banks for the convenience of management and urging users to change their cards. Generally speaking, the corresponding account can be used flexibly unless the past magnetic stripe card needs to be upgraded to the present chip card. Individuals have accounts, bank cards have been lost for many years, but mobile banking accounts have always been available, so no one has been in charge. This account has been used for 10 years, and it has not been blocked or stopped.

In fact, the social security department has no uniform regulations on the use period of social security cards, at least there is no time limit now. In April 2020, Dalian Social Security Card Management Service Center released a special information note to the society. It is clear in the relevant instructions that some social security cards issued in the early stage are printed with the validity period of 10 year. However, some people misunderstand that it is necessary to change the card in advance, otherwise the pension will be stopped and hospitalization will not be reimbursed. This is a rumor. In fact, the current social security card in Dalian has already cancelled the use restriction of the validity period. The new social security card does not print the expiration date, but the old social security card can continue to be used after it expires and enjoy the relevant social security benefits, which will certainly not affect the normal payment of pensions.
