How can I buy social security when I am 42 years old and have no job?

Without a job, residents can buy social security as freelancers or individual industrial and commercial households, but they can only buy endowment insurance and medical insurance in social security, but maternity insurance, work injury insurance and unemployment insurance cannot be bought. Social security includes a total of five insurances, which can only be purchased by urban workers, and when urban workers pay social security fees, the company will also help pay a large part. When the unemployed pay social security fees, they need to bear all the expenses themselves.

Social security can be purchased by individuals. Personal social security methods:

1. Prepare my ID card and two recent bareheaded one-inch photos.

2. After arriving at the Social Security Bureau, as long as the conditions for applying for social security are met, fill in the application form first, then open a special account in the designated bank, and then sign a withholding agreement with the Social Security Bureau.

If the economy is under pressure, or you don't believe in national endowment insurance, you can participate in residents' medical insurance at the place where you register.

If the economic conditions are sufficient and local policies permit, it is recommended to participate in social security for urban workers as flexible employees; If you want to participate in the social security of local urban workers, but the policy does not allow you to participate as a flexible employee, you can find a affiliated unit to pay social security.

I hope the above content can help you. If in doubt, please consult a professional lawyer.
