Can the social security paid on 2016/2019 be refunded?

You can get a refund if you pay social security. It's just not that easy to get the money back. After all, social security, as a social security system, is not something you can join if you want to, but you can retire if you want to. However, if there are some special reasons, you can also surrender your insurance and get your previous money back.

1. Leaving the country to settle down or change nationality;

2. The death of the insured;

3. Repeated insurance;

4 reached the statutory retirement age but failed to pay the prescribed number of years;

5. The social security relationship cannot be transferred;

6. Major changes have occurred, and payment cannot be continued.

In a special case like the above, you can return the social security and take out the previous money. However, it should be noted that social security has two accounts, one is the overall fund account and the other is the personal account. Social security refund will only return the money in your personal account to you, not the money in the overall fund account, which is very uneconomical.
