Do you have qualifications to pay social security yourself?

Legal analysis: individual social security payment can be counted as length of service, and retirement expenses can be counted when reaching retirement age. Whether individuals or units pay social security, they must calculate the length of service. The only difference between the two is that if the unit pays the fee, the unit is responsible for 20% and the individual is responsible for 8%. If the individual pays 28%, it will be borne by the individual. As for the length of service, there is no difference.

Legal basis: Article 27 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. Individuals who participate in the basic medical insurance for employees will not pay the basic medical insurance premium after retirement and enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits according to the provisions of the state if they reach the statutory retirement age and the accumulated payment reaches the fixed number of years stipulated by the state. Those who have not reached the fixed number of years prescribed by the state may pay the fees to the fixed number of years prescribed by the state.
