Can social security be broken and not paid?

Social security can be paid if it is broken, and China's social insurance implements a cumulative payment system.

According to the relevant provisions of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Social Security Law:

Article 1 The overall pension stipulated in Article 15 of the Social Insurance Law shall be calculated and paid according to the basic pension calculation and payment method stipulated by the State Council.

Article 2 When an individual who participates in the basic old-age insurance for employees reaches the statutory retirement age, if the accumulated payment is less than fifteen years, the payment may be extended to fifteen years. After the implementation of the Social Insurance Law, if the payment is extended for five years but still less than fifteen years, it can be paid in one lump sum for fifteen years.

Article 7 The payment period for retirees to enjoy basic medical insurance benefits as stipulated in Article 27 of the Social Insurance Law shall be implemented in accordance with local regulations.

Individuals who participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, when the relationship between basic medical insurance is transferred, the payment period of basic medical insurance is calculated cumulatively.
