Can social security be refunded after death?

Social security can be refunded when a person dies, but only the part paid by the individual can be refunded, and the part paid by the company cannot be refunded.

Social security can be surrendered after death, as long as the surrender information is complete. Information required for handover:

1. endowment insurance manual;

2. Original and photocopy of ID card;

3. Application for surrender and relevant certification materials.

Surrender procedure:

1, the above information is complete, and the pension, unemployment and work-related injury fund management center will print the personal account one-time payment approval form according to relevant policies and regulations;

2, signed by the director in charge to the financial office of the center for verification.

Legal basis:

Article 14 of the Social Insurance Law stipulates that individual accounts shall not be withdrawn in advance, and the bookkeeping interest rate shall not be lower than the bank time deposit interest rate, and interest tax shall be exempted. If an individual dies, the balance of the individual account can be inherited.

Article 49 of the Social Insurance Law stipulates that if an unemployed person dies while receiving unemployment insurance benefits, he shall pay a one-time funeral subsidy and pension to his survivors with reference to the provisions on the death of local employees. The required funds are paid from the unemployment insurance fund.

If an individual dies and meets the conditions for receiving basic old-age insurance, industrial injury insurance and unemployment insurance funeral subsidies, his survivors can only choose to receive one of them.

In short, the social security person can pay back when he dies. But it can't be returned in full, only the part paid by the individual can be returned, and the part paid by the company can't be returned.
