Can children not use adult social security cards?

Whether it is necessary for children to apply for social security cards depends mainly on you personally. However, if you have a social security card, if the child needs to see a doctor and buy medicine, and show the social security card when paying the fee, you can settle the account directly with the card and enjoy the reimbursement treatment of social security outpatient and inpatient medical insurance. So as to reduce children's medical expenses, strengthen the protection of children and effectively transfer risks.
