Social security payment period:

1. There are five types of social insurance, so the payment period corresponding to different types of insurance is also different. In social security, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance and industrial injury insurance are all indefinite. Basically, as long as you can always pay, you can always enjoy the protection, so you don't have to pay for many years.
