Can I pay social security in the month of injury?

Legal analysis: Yes. In the event of an industrial accident, the employer must be liable for compensation. Workers can only enjoy medical treatment for work-related injuries if they apply to the Labor Bureau for work-related injury identification.

Legal basis: Regulations on Industrial Injury Insurance

Article 33 If an employee suffers from an accident or occupational disease at work and needs to be suspended from work to receive medical treatment for work-related injuries, the original salary and welfare benefits will remain unchanged during the paid suspension, and the unit where he works will pay him monthly.

The paid shutdown period generally does not exceed 12 months. If the injury is serious or the situation is special, it may be appropriately extended upon confirmation by the Municipal Labor Ability Appraisal Committee with districts, but the extension time shall not exceed 12 months. After assessing the disability level, the injured workers shall stop the original treatment and enjoy the disability treatment in accordance with the relevant provisions of this chapter. Workers with work-related injuries who still need treatment after the expiration of paid shutdown shall continue to enjoy medical treatment for work-related injuries.

Workers with work-related injuries who can't take care of themselves need care during the paid shutdown period, and their units are responsible for it.

Thirty-fourth workers with work-related injuries who have been assessed as disabled and confirmed by the labor ability appraisal committee need life care, the work-related injury insurance fund will pay the life care fee on a monthly basis.

Life care fees are paid according to three different levels: completely unable to take care of themselves, mostly unable to take care of themselves or partially unable to take care of themselves, and their standards are 50%, 40% or 30% of the average monthly salary of employees in the overall planning area respectively.
