What is the use of the school social security card?

Legal analysis: Social security card is an electronic information card used by medical insurance agencies to verify the identity of insured persons, record and store personal account funds and usage. Student social security card mainly refers to medical insurance card, which can reimburse some diseases and medical expenses during your school days. However, at present, there is only the medical insurance function, and medical expenses can only be reduced. Other expenses (treatment fees, injection fees) must be paid at their own expense. After graduation, the function of the original student medical insurance card is automatically cancelled, and it is necessary to purchase urban workers' medical insurance or residents' medical insurance separately to enjoy medical insurance benefits. If the work unit and the school are in the same city, you can bring your ID card and social security card to the local social security center to get the password before you can activate it online. If you are not in the same city, you must reapply. Because there is no national social security network at present, the new social security card with UnionPay logo can be used as a bank card. If you need to use it, you should also bring your ID card and social security card to the bank marked on the card for activation.
