Can social security contributions be paid in one lump sum?

Legal analysis: you can't have sex for fifteen years at a time, but you must pay five years at a time to have sex. Those who participate in the basic old-age insurance for employees who pay less than 15 years when they reach the statutory retirement age can extend the payment to 15 years. Before the implementation of the Social Insurance Law, if the insured and the deferred payment are still less than 15 years after 5 years, they can pay to 15 years in one lump sum.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 2 When an individual who participates in the basic old-age insurance for employees reaches the statutory retirement age, if the accumulated payment is less than fifteen years, the payment may be extended to fifteen years. After the implementation of the Social Insurance Law, if the payment is extended for five years but still less than fifteen years, it can be paid in one lump sum for fifteen years.

Article 3 Individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance for employees who have paid less than 15 years after reaching the statutory retirement age (including extending the payment in accordance with Article 2) may apply for transfer to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance where their household registration is located, and enjoy the corresponding old-age insurance benefits. Individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance for employees have reached the statutory retirement age, and the accumulated payment is less than 15 years (including the extension of payment in accordance with the provisions of Article 2), and have not been transferred to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance, individuals can apply in writing to terminate the basic old-age insurance relationship for employees. After receiving the application, the social insurance agency shall inform it in writing of its right to transfer to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance and the consequences of terminating the basic endowment insurance relationship for employees. After my written confirmation, I will terminate the employee's basic old-age insurance relationship and pay me the amount stored in my personal account in one lump sum.
