Can I lend my social security card to others?

Social security cards cannot be lent to others. The social security card is unique to every citizen and will remain unchanged for life. The use of social security card represents the medical treatment behavior of the owner of social security card, which will have corresponding legal consequences. Lessors and lenders of social security cards may bear corresponding legal responsibilities for the actions of actual users. Actual users will also face legal risks when handling claims, industrial injury applications and medical expenses reimbursement because their actual identity does not match the registered identity documents.
