How to use social security card for the first time

Legal analysis: 1. The first step after getting the social security card must be to activate it first, because according to the relevant regulations, the inactive social security card cannot be used normally. The activation method is also very simple. Bring your personal ID card and social security card and activate the social security card at the social security bureau outlet. In addition, calling the social security hotline 12333 can also activate the social security card independently. If you are an employee friend who usually has no time, you can choose to activate by phone.

2. Keep the personal social security card properly: Since the social security card records our important personal insurance information, we must keep it properly after getting the social security card. Don't set the social security card password too simple. It's best to change the password every long time. Through the social security bureau, telephone banking and other channels, you can quickly change the personal social security card password. If it is lost or stolen, report the loss in time.

It should be remembered that the social security card is activated, but it can be used immediately. However, according to the relevant regulations, the insured can only use medical services after three months of continuous payment. However, different regions may have different regulations on medical services, so it is recommended to call the local social security bureau for consultation in advance.
