Can self-employed people not pay social security?

Legal analysis: if the self-employed registered by the parties themselves have no employees, only the parties themselves are responsible for their operations. Self-employed individuals can not pay social security according to law, but the social security issues can be paid by the parties themselves. For self-employed, they can handle their own social security contributions as flexible employees. Pension insurance payment 15 years or more, reaching the statutory retirement age, can retire like urban workers and receive a monthly pension. There are two payment grades for medical insurance. The down payment is low, but the social security card does not refund the money, and hospitalization can enjoy normal medical reimbursement. The second payment is higher, and the money is returned to the medical insurance card every month according to the age, which can be used for outpatient registration and medicine purchase. Medical insurance payment reaches the payment period stipulated by the state, and no longer pays medical insurance after retirement, and enjoys medical insurance benefits for life.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
