Does the social security reduction of epidemic enterprises count as payment?

Social security assistance to epidemic enterprises is not paid. In order to cope with the impact of the epidemic on enterprise management, the government has introduced a series of measures to reduce the social insurance premium of enterprises. These relief policies are designed to support enterprises to tide over difficulties and reduce their burden. According to the government's policy, enterprises can enjoy preferential policies such as deferment of social insurance premiums, reduction or deferment of some social insurance premiums, but it is not considered as payment.
