Do I have to pay social security when I reach retirement age?

Legal analysis: In principle, it is stipulated that female employees and male employees of the employing unit shall not continue to participate in insurance as employees after reaching the age of 55 or 60, and the employing unit shall stop insurance in time when employees reach retirement age. According to the policy, only with the approval of organizations and human resources departments above the city, can the unit handle the payment procedures of over-age insurance for them. Except for those who have been approved to postpone retirement and apply to the local tax department for continuing to participate in the insurance, the local tax department will force the over-age personnel who are still insured as employees to go through the automatic insurance suspension procedures, and inform the employer by mail, and the employer shall promptly remind the over-age insured personnel to receive pension benefits. Workers who have reached retirement age must go through retirement formalities in time. If you continue to work, the length of service is not counted, and the overpaid pension insurance is not counted. After receiving the retirement fee, the unit can sign an agreement if it continues to work, but it can no longer pay social insurance. All treatment will be carried out in accordance with the agreement.

Legal basis: Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
