How long can social security be suspended?

Legal analysis: the law does not clearly stipulate the period during which social security can be suspended. Under normal circumstances, it is best not to stop paying social security for more than 3 months. After more than three months, the accumulated years of medical insurance need to be recalculated, and it will take half a year to continue to enjoy medical insurance benefits in the later period. In addition, when social security is suspended, the corresponding maternity insurance and industrial injury insurance will also be suspended.

Legal basis: Article 72 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Law determines the source of social insurance funds according to the types of insurance, and gradually implements social overall planning. Employers and workers must participate in social insurance and pay social insurance premiums according to law.
