Can social security be paid and used in different places?

First, the social security payment place is inconsistent with the work place. The most influential place is the reimbursement part and use of medical insurance. We can't directly use the medical insurance of another city in this city, and reimbursement will be relatively troublesome.

For example, your work place is in Sichuan, but the place where you pay social insurance is in Guizhou. Then at this time, if you want to buy medicine in a pharmacy in Sichuan, you can't swipe your medical insurance card at all, because you don't have a medical insurance card in Sichuan. On the other hand, even if you have a medical insurance card in Guizhou, you can't use it in Sichuan because it is beyond the scope of regional use. Of course, if you have a serious illness and need to be reimbursed in hospital, you can also reimburse it through cross-regional methods, but the procedures will be relatively complicated.

Second, the social security payment place is different from the work place. What still affects us is unemployment insurance. Although we usually pay unemployment insurance, when we really receive unemployment insurance, there is no way to go directly to another city to collect and use it.

For example, I work in Beijing, but the place to pay social insurance is in Shanghai. If I am unemployed at this time and want to go to the social security bureau to receive unemployment insurance benefits, I will go to Shanghai to go through the relevant unemployment insurance procedures at this time, and I may need to complete a series of sign-in activities in Shanghai, and so on, in order to receive unemployment insurance benefits in full. Of course, this should be decided according to the specific requirements of each region. In short, the whole process will be more complicated, and many of them are not in line with the actual situation.

Third, the social insurance payment place is different from the work place, which will also affect our maternity insurance reimbursement or retirement. After all, dealing with problems is a cross-regional procedure, which will be relatively complicated.

For example, you work in Beijing, but the social insurance you pay is from Chongqing, but you never want to live in Chongqing in your life, and you will not work in Chongqing. If you want to reimburse the maternity allowance at this time, you need to go to Chongqing to go through the relevant procedures before you can reimburse it. If you need to retire, then you need to transfer the old-age insurance to Chongqing, where the social security is located, and then you can retire elsewhere.
