The social security card has not been used since it was activated. Do you need to reactivate?

As an important certificate of personal social security rights and interests, social security card, once activated, has long-term validity and will not be invalid because it has not been used for a long time. However, it should be noted that if the social security card is damaged, lost or stolen after activation, or the personal information changes, it is necessary to go through relevant procedures in time, including reissuing the social security card or updating the personal information.

For social security cards that have not been used for a long time, it is recommended that cardholders regularly check their status to ensure that the cards are not damaged or expired. At the same time, we can also pay attention to the changes of social security policies, understand the rules and rights of using social security cards, and thus better enjoy social security services.

In addition, in order to ensure the security of the social security card, the cardholder should properly keep the social security card and avoid putting the card with magnetic objects to avoid damaging the magnetic stripe of the card. At the same time, don't disclose the social security card password to others to prevent the social security card from being stolen.

If the social security card can't be used normally during use, it is recommended to contact the social security card service center or relevant banks for consultation and handling in time. They will provide corresponding solutions and help according to the specific situation.

To sum up:

Social security cards have not been used after activation, and generally do not need to be reactivated. However, cardholders should regularly check the status of social security cards to ensure their safety and effectiveness. If there is any problem, contact the relevant departments in time.
