Can I pay social security if the social security card is not activated?

If the social security card is not activated, you can pay social security. There is no necessary relationship between social security payment and whether the social security card is activated. However, because the social security card is not activated, the money entered cannot be used. Therefore, after receiving the social security card, you should activate it at the corresponding bank outlet in time. Only by activating the social security card can the social security card be used when buying medicine or registering.

How to activate social security card

The insured must activate the social security card within half a year after receiving it, otherwise the original medical insurance card will be restricted. The activation process is:

1. The insured person needs to bring his social security card and the original identity certificate to the corresponding bank outlet to activate the social security card, and the medical insurance account will return to normal after activation;

2. Use the social security card to directly enable the social security function in the designated medical insurance hospital. When the insured person uses the social security card for the first time in a designated medical institution, he can directly activate the social security function only by handling the outpatient or inpatient registration business normally;

3. When the insured uses the social security card for the first time in the designated medical insurance pharmacy, he inserts the original medical insurance card and then inserts the social security card as required to activate the social security card.

Legal basis: Article 63 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

If the employer fails to pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, the social insurance premium collection agency shall order it to pay or make up within a time limit.

If the employer fails to pay or repay the social insurance premium within the time limit, the social insurance premium collection agency may inquire about its deposit account in banks and other financial institutions; And can apply to the relevant administrative departments at or above the county level to make a decision on the allocation of social insurance premiums, and notify their bank or other financial institutions in writing to allocate social insurance premiums. If the balance of the employer's account is less than the social insurance premium that should be paid, the social insurance premium collection agency may require the employer to provide guarantee and sign a deferred payment agreement.

If the employer fails to pay the social insurance premium in full and fails to provide guarantee, the social insurance premium collection agency may apply to the people's court for sealing up, distraining and auctioning the property whose value is equivalent to the social insurance premium that should be paid, so as to offset the social insurance premium with the proceeds from the auction.
