How do retirees pay social security and medical insurance?

Legal analysis: In the case of retirement, employers and individuals usually pay insurance premiums.

Legal basis: Article 9 of the Provisions on the Resettlement of Surplus Employees of State-owned Enterprises, employees who are less than five years away from retirement age may resign and take a rest upon their own application and the approval of enterprise leaders. During the employee's leave, the enterprise will pay his living expenses. Where retirement expenses have been co-ordinated, enterprises and retired workers shall pay the basic old-age insurance premiums in accordance with relevant regulations. When employees reach the retirement age stipulated by the state during retirement, they should go through retirement procedures according to regulations. During the period when employees retire from their jobs, they shall be regarded as the length of service, which shall be combined with the previous length of service. If the retirement age stipulated in this article is less than five years, it shall be no less than five years from the statutory retirement age. Therefore, this article should be understood as that men who do not retire early are over 55 years old and women are over 45 years old, and they can resign and rest. Special jobs, men over 50 years old, women over 40 years old, can resign and rest. The former Ministry of Labor [1994] No.259 called employees who resigned during the rest period "internal retirement" according to Article 9 of the Regulations on the Resettlement of Surplus Employees of State-owned Enterprises.
