Can social security in different cities be merged?

Legal analysis: Yes. However, China's social security has not yet achieved national overall planning. If social security is paid in different cities and cannot be merged automatically, social security transfer procedures can be handled before retirement.

Legal basis: Article 46 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. Before unemployment, if the employer and I have paid accumulated contributions for more than one year but less than five years, the longest period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits is twelve months; If the accumulated payment is over five years but less than ten years, the maximum period for receiving unemployment insurance benefits is eighteen months; If the accumulated payment is more than ten years, the maximum period for receiving unemployment insurance benefits is twenty-four months. If you are unemployed again after re-employment, the payment time will be recalculated, and the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits will be combined with the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits that should have been received but not received in the previous unemployment, and the longest period will not exceed 24 months.
