Does social security pay for a person's death?

Legal analysis: According to the Social Insurance Law, the personal account pension has the nature of compulsory savings and belongs to individuals. If an individual dies (including before and after retirement), the pension balance in the personal account can be inherited. In case of death due to illness or non-work-related reasons, the survivors can receive funeral subsidies and survivors' pensions. Funeral allowance and survivor's pension are also part of the employee's pension insurance benefits.

After the death of an employee, his survivors shall enjoy the survivors' allowance according to law. The conditions and standards for workers to enjoy social insurance benefits shall be stipulated by laws and regulations. Social insurance premiums enjoyed by workers must be paid in full and on time.
