Is social security payment legal?

Social security payment is legal, but the payment company must have legal payment qualifications. For freelancers with non-local household registration, due to household registration restrictions, they can't usually pay social security in their own name, so they can find an agent to link with social security.

The process of paying social insurance is as follows:

1. Go to the individual payment window of the social security agency to collect and fill in the Social Insurance Individual Payment Declaration Form and the Contract for Entrusting Banks to Collect Social Insurance Fees;

2, with the official seal of the bank "commissioned by the bank to collect social insurance contract";

3. With the required insurance information, social insurance individual payment declaration form and entrusted bank social insurance premium collection contract, go through the insurance formalities at the individual payment window of the social security agency in the area where the household registration is located;

4. If you need to apply for a labor security card, you must come in person to apply for it, and provide a copy of your ID card (the original inspection) and a digital photo receipt of the second-generation ID card network photo library approved by the municipal public security organ.

To sum up, social security payment itself is not illegal, but we need to pay attention to the legitimacy of the payment institution and the accuracy and timeliness of payment. Insured people need to choose and judge carefully when choosing social security payment institutions, and don't trust or choose payers at will. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the insured's own understanding and right to know about social security contributions, and keep abreast of social security contributions and related policies through various channels.
