Does the social security payment on the 20th count as the current month?

Legal analysis: social security payment is based on the deduction date agreed by both parties, not on the natural month. Payment before the agreed date is the current month; After that, the month is not counted, and the month is overdue.

Legal basis: Regulations on the Administration of Social Insurance Premium Declaration and Payment.

Article 3 Social insurance agencies shall be responsible for the declaration and verification of social insurance premiums. Where the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government decide that social insurance agencies shall collect social insurance premiums, the social insurance agencies shall collect social insurance premiums according to law. Social insurance agencies are responsible for the collection of social insurance premiums and implement unified collection.

Article 11 The social insurance premiums payable by employees shall be withheld and remitted by the employer. No unit or individual may interfere or refuse when the employer performs the obligation of withholding and remitting according to law. If the employer fails to pay in full and on time, the social insurance agency shall order it to pay within a time limit, and an overdue fine of 0.5‰ shall be added daily from the date of default. The employer shall not require employees to bear the late payment fee.
