Can students pay social security?

Legal analysis: (1) Yes, students at school can only buy as flexible employees because they are not on-the-job employees and have not signed labor contracts with other units.

(2) The specific process is: purchase medical insurance for urban and rural residents and endowment insurance for urban and rural residents or the new rural cooperative medical system at the place where the household registration is located. The contribution rate of this kind of insurance is low, of course, the specific payment amount depends on the local situation: flexible employees refer to those who are employed in flexible forms such as part-time, temporary and flexible work. Including the unemployed, resigned persons whose files are registered in file keeping institutions at all levels, self-employed persons who terminate or terminate their labor relations with the employing units, retirees who have been approved by the labor and personnel departments during the file keeping period, unemployed persons who have registered for employment and unemployment, self-employed persons, owners of individual economic organizations and their employees. Flexible employees can choose to register at any registration point of the local tax department and choose medical insurance and endowment insurance to pay independently.
