The second generation social security card is invalid. Do I still have to pay the SMS fee for the invalid card?

No need. Article 18 of the Measures for the Administration of Social Security Cards stipulates that after the expiration of the validity period of social security cards, the procedures for card replacement shall be handled within the prescribed time limit without additional charges. The second-generation social security card needs to be replaced after it expires, but it is not clearly stipulated that it needs to be paid extra and does not need to pay the SMS fee. Article 43 of the Social Insurance Law stipulates that individuals participating in social insurance shall hold social security cards, and the social security cards shall be renewed within the prescribed time limit.
