What does social security sequestration mean?

The social security card shows that the sealing is due to the insured person interrupting social security payments for some reason.

If the social security account cannot be canceled or transferred, the social security account will temporarily enter a sealed state. Generally speaking, the social security card being in a sealed state may not only be caused by the suspension of payment, but also may be caused by the social security card not being activated, the social security transfer, or the social security card being reported lost.

Many people fail to properly handle social security relations after leaving their jobs, which will lead to the sealing of social security cards. For example, after leaving the company, the previous company did not provide social security for the insured persons and at the same time did not make normal contributions. As a result, the next company was unable to add employees and pay premiums, which would lead to the sealing of social security.

Generally, the social security card sealing mainly affects the social security insurance function of the social security card, and the financial function will not be affected. In other words, the social security card can still be used as a bank card and will not affect the financial account. Withdrawals and transfers of internal funds, etc.

Methods to unblock the social security card:

1. When the cardholder is currently unemployed and the social security payment is stopped within a short period of time, after finding a job in the later period, the social security payment will be resumed. Once the payment is made, the social security card will be automatically unblocked; if the card holder is employed for a long period of time, the card holder can also participate in social security as a flexible employee or an urban or rural resident. The social security card will be unblocked after payment is resumed.

2. When the cardholder’s social security is currently in the transfer period, there is no need to worry. As long as all transfer procedures are completed, the social security card will automatically be unsealed.

3. Reporting the loss of the social security card will also cause the social security card to be in a sealed state. At this time, the cardholder needs to find the original social security card to unlink it or apply for a new social security card before the social security card can be released. At this time, the funds in the social security account can be used.
