Can Shanghai pay social security by itself?

Shanghai can pay social security by itself.

Workers who are not employed by employers can directly pay social insurance premiums to social insurance premium collection agencies as flexible employees, but they can only pay basic medical insurance premiums and basic old-age insurance premiums. Where a worker goes to an employer for employment, the employer and the worker shall jointly pay social insurance premiums.

Personal social security payment process:

1, you can apply for social security as a freelancer (pension+medical care);

2. Insurance conditions: urban hukou or rural hukou;

3. Handling location: local community street social security service points, or district and county social security bureaus (labor and social security bureaus);

4. Basic information required: household registration book, ID card and photocopy, and two 1 inch photos;

5. Payment standard: based on the local social wage in the previous year, the proportion of pension payment is 20%, and that of medical care is about 9%. At present, 80% and 100% are still available.

To sum up, individuals who pay social security can only pay pension and medical insurance.

Legal basis:

Article 60 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law
