Can social security be refunded?

Social security is usually non-refundable, as follows:

1. When the insured meets the statutory conditions, he can receive social security benefits or enjoy corresponding social security benefits, but the social security cannot be refunded generally, and the payment amount cannot be withdrawn in advance, except that the insured has settled abroad or died.

2. If the employee resigns, social security can't be retired in advance. You need to meet the conditions before you can enjoy social security benefits, and you can't return them directly. If an employee reaches retirement age and does not enjoy pension insurance benefits, he can return the individual contribution. Prior to this, social security can only apply for transfer accumulation and cannot be returned. The personal contribution of medical insurance is in the employee's personal account, which can be used to treat diseases when he is sick. The health account part of the personal account can still be used to buy medicines after leaving the company.
