Can a person only have one social security card?

Usually there is only one social security card that a person can effectively use. However, because social security cards are not popular in China at present, all provinces can get local social security cards. Therefore, a person can have multiple social security cards, but having cards does not mean that they can all be used normally. Only people who keep paying can use it normally. The policy orientation is to put an end to repeated payment and accumulated reimbursement.

A person has only one social security account, but can apply for social security cards according to different study or work places. That is to say, a person can have multiple social security cards, but generally there is only one payment, so only those who pay can use them normally. If social security has been paid in multiple places, the previously paid social security can also be merged through social security transfer procedures. If the social security card is replaced, the original card will be automatically invalidated after the new card is activated. If there is a balance in the personal account of medical insurance, it will be automatically transferred to my personal account of social security card. When each new social security card is issued to the public, the public should go through the application function activation formalities at the social security card service outlet of the issuing bank with relevant certificates, activate the bank account and set up the chairman's meeting at the same time, and can voluntarily choose whether to reset the password.

Social security card has the functions of government social security, public service and financial service, as well as extended function application. Social security service functions include identification, information inquiry, medical expenses settlement, social insurance premium payment, treatment collection and payment after medical expenses are settled immediately. Financial functions can be used as bank debit cards, such as cash deposit and withdrawal, transfer and consumption.
