Can rural insurance and social security be merged?

Legal analysis: rural cooperative and social security cannot be paid at the same time. According to the regulations, those who have participated in employee medical insurance will no longer participate in the new rural cooperative medical system (now medical insurance for urban and rural residents) and may not participate in the insurance again. Agricultural insurance refers to the rural social security system in which the administrative department is responsible for organization and management, rural economic organizations, collective institutions and workers from all walks of life share the obligation to pay old-age insurance premiums, and workers enjoy basic old-age insurance benefits according to the payment status of old-age insurance premiums when they are old. Social security, the full name of "social insurance", is an important livelihood security project. Specific types of social security include: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance. In 20 14, the state issued regulations to merge the new rural old-age insurance with the social old-age insurance for urban residents and establish a basic old-age insurance system for urban and rural residents. Similarly, the predecessor of the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents is the new rural cooperative medical system (NCMS) and the basic medical insurance for urban residents. In 20 16, the state issued regulations to integrate the new rural cooperative medical system with the social medical insurance for urban residents and establish a unified basic medical insurance system for urban and rural residents.
