How does the social security card distinguish the second and third generation pictures?

Social security cards are divided into two or three generations. The pictures are as follows:

On September 1, 20 1 and 20 17, the third generation social security card was launched in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. It can realize the settlement of medical expenses for inter-provincial hospitalization. By using the loaded contactless chip, people's livelihood services such as public transportation, subway, public bicycles, refueling, taxi payment, and borrowing books are included in the application scope, and cash access is available.

2. The third-generation social security card is similar to the second-generation social security card in appearance, and the signs of "all-in-one card" and "flash payment" are added to the card, that is, the contactless function of "passing by" is added. Through this technical upgrade, it can greatly facilitate cardholders to use their cards. It is understood that the third generation social security card is an integrated circuit (IC) card, which uses state secret algorithm to enhance security.

Social security is different from cooperative medical care. Medical insurance and social security mainly have the following differences:

1, medical insurance is a kind of social security, and social security includes medical insurance, which covers a wider range;

2. The medical insurance card has a narrow application range and is only used for medical insurance. The social security card has a wide application range and can be used for human resources and social security.

3. Medical insurance cards can only be used in fixed areas, while social security cards are subject to national unified standards and are common throughout the country;

4. The medical insurance card has a low security level and is easy to be copied, and the social security card has a high security level.

The coverage of rural cooperative medical insurance, rural residents who have reached the age of 16 and have not participated in the basic old-age insurance for urban workers, can voluntarily participate in the payment method at their domicile.

To sum up, the third-generation and second-generation social security cards have the following differences: the third-generation social security card is a non-contact card reader, and the second-generation social security card needs a contact card reader.
