Does social security need to be transferred after changing jobs?

Legal analysis: When necessary, if the employee terminates the labor contract with the employer, the employer will handle the transfer procedures of the relationship between the file and social insurance for the employee according to law. Social insurance is an important part of the social security system and occupies a core position in the whole social security system. In addition, social insurance is a contributory social security. The funds are mainly paid by employers and workers themselves, and the government finances give subsidies and bear the ultimate responsibility. However, workers can only enjoy the corresponding social insurance benefits if they fulfill their statutory payment obligations and meet the statutory conditions.
