China has issued 1 billion social security cards as it works towards its goal of providing them to 90% of the population by 2020, the Beijing News reported.
China aims to have full coverage of social insurance, steadily raise the level of social security pooling, establish a more convenient social insurance transfer and renewal mechanism, and implement social security card system to ensure that 90 percent of the population enjoys social security coverage in the 13th Five-Year Plan.
Since the first social security card was issued in Shanghai in 1999, about 72% of the Chinese population have received a card, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said.
Six major functions of social security cards, including electronic vouchers, information records, self-service inquiries and medical settlement, have been popularized and the functions are expanding, the ministry said.
People with a social security card can settle their medical bills in over 90% of Chinese cities. The ministry is promoting direct settlement of trans-provincial medical expenses.
The social security card has also been approved for other government public services such as civil affairs, health care, provident fund, disabled services and agriculture-related subsidies, the report said.
