The full name of the social security card is "the Chinese people *** and the country social security card". From the meaning of this name, the issuance of the object is the government departments to implement the social security of the population; from its content, it can be related to all aspects of personal social security, including social insurance, including employment services, some areas of the local government in accordance with the needs of the local management, but also more social management services into which; from the geographic area involved in this is a nationwide IC card can be used, can be adapted to the whole country, and can be used for the whole country, and can be used for the whole country. In terms of its geographical coverage, it is a nationwide IC card that can be used to meet the needs of the national unified labor market and the networking of social security systems, as well as the needs of personnel mobility. In order to correctly understand the concept of social security card, it is also necessary to clarify the relationship between social security card and other industry IC cards, especially with bank cards. As the "personal account" of the social security card is similar to the "electronic wallet" of the bank card, some regions or manufacturers have adopted the standard of the bank card to design the social security card. Bank card standards are for bank card applications and social security card sample card
Developed specifications, its file storage format, command operation, security management and other aspects are designed for a variety of transactions related to financial behavior. The IC card issued in the field of labor security is mainly used for administrative management, its main function is to manage information records, and the function of the bank card is very different. The "medical insurance personal account" in the social security card is also fundamentally different from the "electronic wallet" in the bank card, which records the situation of the "account" in the personal account rather than the real "money". It is a record of the "account" in the personal account, not the real "money". After the cardholder transfers the balance of the personal account to the card, the medical insurance organization is still responsible for the use of the account, even if the cardholder's card is lost or damaged, as long as the funds in the personal account have not been fraudulently used by other people before the loss of the card, it will still be owned by the cardholder, and he or she can still use this part of the account to make medical consumptions. On the other hand, once the user deposits the money in the electronic wallet of the bank card, the money will have no relationship with the bank, and once the card is lost or damaged, the loss will be borne entirely by the cardholder. Therefore, health insurance personal accounts should never be handled using the e-wallet model. There are also places where social security applications and financial applications are put on one card, which is not advocated, because putting commercial and management applications on one card will cause many drawbacks in the management, and will bring much inconvenience to the cardholders and management organizations, and even cause losses to the cardholders.

Edit "One Card" Function
On August 21, 2011, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MOHRSS) said that they are implementing the One Card and deploying the work of expanding the application areas of social security cards. To this end, the ministry issued the Circular on Loading Financial Functions on Social Security Cards. The social security card loaded with financial functions can be used as a bank card with financial functions such as cash deposit and withdrawal, money transfer and consumption, in addition to the functions of information recording, information inquiry and business handling. In order to promote financial services for the people's livelihood, it is convenient for the public to enjoy social security benefits and financial services.

From now on, the social security card will include financial functions and be unified nationwide[3].
Editorial section of the social security card upgrades six questions in detail
1. loaded with what financial services?
Used in cash deposit and withdrawal, transfer, consumption and other financial applications, currently does not support the credit function, the scope of use of the People's Republic of China *** and within the country. According to the relevant regulations, the social security card is used as an ordinary bank card in cash access, transfer, consumption and other financial applications. The financial applications of the social security card are RMB debit applications, which do not support credit function at present, and the scope of use is within the territory of the People's Republic of China*** and the State. According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, after the social security card is loaded with financial functions, the payment of social insurance premiums, the receipt of subsidies for employment support policies, the payment and return of medical expenses, and other businesses, as well as the query of my social security-related information, will be gradually integrated into the social security card loaded with a bank account for processing. Li Dongrong, assistant governor of the People's Bank of China, said the loading of financial functions on social security cards has not changed the current banking regulations, so any violation of the current credit regulations when using the card for financial services will still be handled in accordance with the current credit regulations. According to the promotion plan of the two departments, the loading of financial functions on social security cards will be piloted from 2011 to 2012, and then fully promoted in 2013, with the aim of basically realizing the goal of social security cards generally having financial functions in about five years' time.
2. How is security guaranteed?
The card requires the use of cryptographic algorithms, the use of chip technology cooperation, a very strict key management system and approval procedures, the possibility of counterfeiting is extremely low. Li Dongrong said that the current situation, the possibility of counterfeiting is extremely low, the card requires the use of cryptographic algorithms, the use of chip technology cooperation, there is a very strict key management system and approval procedures. Li Dongrong also said that the financial application of social security card currently does not support the credit function, the scope of use is also within the territory, from the current system design, measures to protect can guarantee security. In response to some recently discovered acts of using social security cards to violate the law and commit crimes, Hu Xiaoyi, vice minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that the social security card is a carrier of social security rights and interests granted to individuals by the state, and asked people to protect their rights and interests, especially after loading the financial function, lending the card to someone else is the same as lending one's own bank card to someone else, which is a loss of one's own rights and interests, and it also provides criminals with a The soil of crime is provided.
3. Who pays for the upgrade costs?
The main cost is the large amount of system construction and maintenance behind the card, which is borne by the government, and in principle, only the labor cost is charged to the cardholder. Social security card upgrades, inevitably incur costs. Hu Xiaoyi said, the social security card as a government a public **** service function embodiment, the main cost is borne by the government, the main cost is not to see this card, but in the card behind the system construction, maintenance and other substantial costs, in principle, the cardholder only charge the cost of the work. According to Hu Xiaoyi, the cost of social security card charges by the provincial financial departments and price management department **** with the development of standards. The approximate cost of labor is 20 to 25 yuan. Despite this standard, many regions are reducing or waiving fees during the card issuance process, especially for groups living in difficult circumstances. Others are using a variety of resources to spread the cost, reducing or even waiving the fee for the first card issuance. "Even though the cost of obtaining a card is low, there is still a fee if the card is replaced, and the cost of replacing the card is also so that people can protect their rights." Hu said.
4. Where is the direction of function expansion?
Social security card is currently mainly used for medical insurance settlement, the next step in the expansion of functions is mainly in the pension insurance, "has been designed in this regard." At present, the social security card is mainly used for medical insurance settlement. However, the scope of social security is not only health insurance, but also pension insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, industrial injury insurance and so on. So, in the future, to which field will the function of the social security card be expanded? Hu Xiaoyi said that the general consideration of the scope of application of social security card is "urgent use first, gradually expand". The next step in the expansion of the function is mainly in the increasingly strong demand for pension insurance. According to Hu Xiaoyi, now urban workers receive pension is 60 million people, the new rural insurance and urban residents pension insurance to carry out and rapid popularization will be another 100 million people, a total of more than 160 million people to receive pension, even if 12 times a year to receive billions of payment relationship, not to mention there are hundreds of millions of people are in the personal payment link to occur settlement relationship, so this aspect of the demand is very large. He said, "We have done the design in this regard."
5. Can it replace each other with ID cards?
The social security card number uses the ID card number, and the information can be ****enjoyed, but it is unlikely to replace each other. Hu Xiaoyi made it clear that a card is an important carrier for the government to provide social management and public **** services, from the current point of view, it is unlikely to replace each other. Hu Xiaoyi said, the resident identity card registration regulations nine items, respectively: name, gender, nationality, date of birth, permanent residence address, civil status number, my photo, the validity of the document, the issuing authority, these are fixed information. The functional orientation of the ID card is mainly social management, and it is unlikely to provide a very wide range of public **** services, and it is impossible to register a large amount of dynamic information. In addition, the Resident Identity Card Law stipulates that residents under the age of 16 are not obliged to receive an ID card, however, the social security needs of citizens under the age of 16 likewise require a certain carrier to support it. Hu Xiaoyi said: "Now we issue social security cards with a chip capacity exponentially higher than that of a resident ID card, and in addition to basic information, they also record a large amount of dynamic information, including every payment of fees, every entitlement, every payment of funds for medical treatment, and so on. Like areas that are more advanced in issuing cards, such as Beijing, all primary and secondary school students have social security cards." Hu said that the information between one card and the other can be ****enjoyed. He said, "We have carried out a lot of comparison work with the public security department in terms of residents' fixed information in our actual work, while the identity management system has also corroborated and corrected residents' fixed information through such comparison."
6. How far is it from being nationally recognized?
"Now we are building a nationwide interoperability internet platform covering the whole country, and we have built a cross-regional exchange interface." Hu said the social security card was designed from the beginning for nationwide use. The more than 170 regions currently approved to issue the cards were allowed to do so because they had the conditions to meet the nationally uniform standards. However, Hu Xiaoyi said that the standardization of social security cards is only one aspect, and it is more important to build a back-end network system to support the use of the card. The direction of current efforts is: technically able to provide a technical environment to support national mobility and social security relationship transfer and succession, he said, "Now we are building a nationwide interoperability internet platform covering the whole country, and building a cross-regional exchange interface."
