Do hukou and social security have to be the same?

According to the query of Baidu Law Pro, hukou and social security do not need to be consistent. Hukou is the address registered by the public security organ of China citizens' habitual residence, and it is a relatively fixed address. Social security is paid jointly by the employer and the employee, and the place of payment is where the employer is located, that is, where the employee is employed.

According to the relevant provisions of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), social security does not have to follow the household registration, and there is no necessary connection between them.
