Can I continue to pay social security after receiving unemployment benefits?

After receiving unemployment benefits, you can still continue to pay social security. Unemployment benefits and social security are two different concepts, which do not affect each other.

Unemployment benefit refers to a system in which the state provides material assistance to workers who have temporarily stopped their livelihood because of unemployment, so as to ensure their basic livelihood and create conditions for their re-employment through vocational training and employment introduction. Receiving unemployment benefits is a right of the unemployed and one of their basic living guarantees.

Social security refers to social insurance, including endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. Paying social security is to protect citizens' right to get material help from the state and society in case of old age, illness, work injury, unemployment and maternity.

Therefore, after receiving unemployment benefits, you can continue to pay social security. During the period of receiving unemployment benefits, social security contributions are suspended, but once they are re-employed or reach retirement age, they can continue to pay social security.

It should be noted that there may be differences in social security policies and regulations in different regions, and local social security institutions or relevant departments need to be consulted for specific conditions.

To sum up:
