There are four colors for social security cards. Xinhua News Agency, June 3, recently, popular science posts with "four colors of social security cards" have been circulated on the Internet. In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs gave an authoritative reply: this is a misunderstanding of the social security card. The network article wrote: "the blue social security card users are urban workers; the green ones are urban and rural residents, that is, non-employee groups; and the blue social security card has more and more powerful functions, not only for medical settlement and registration to buy medicine." it can also be used to handle a variety of social security business; while the function of the green social security card is relatively simple, in some places, you can only swipe the card to a designated medical institution for medical treatment. " The reporter learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs that the so-called four colors are misunderstandings of social security cards. In the early days of issuing social security cards, when a generation of social security cards were issued in individual places, the colors of social security cards were distinguished in order to facilitate the use of social security cards by different groups such as children, the elderly, working people, and so on. But the national unified social security card has been issued to the third generation, no matter what kind of insured population, it is the same color: blue, the function is the same. The social security card is a certificate for everyone to enjoy employment, social security and other rights and interests, and it is an important carrier of the government's livelihood services. We must pay attention to the distinction and never believe in rumors and spread rumors. (CCTV)
