Can social security be paid more?

Generally speaking, you can enjoy pension benefits when the social security payment period reaches 15, but you can't enjoy lifelong medical insurance. Most cities stipulate that men have to pay for 25 to 30 years, and women have to pay for 20 to 25 years to enjoy lifelong medical insurance. The basic principle of social security payment is that the longer the payment time, the higher the payment amount and base, and the higher the retirement benefits in the future.

The functions of social insurance are as follows:

1, social insurance can play the role of social stabilizer. The old, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant and disabled members of society are inevitable objective phenomena in any era and under any social system. Social insurance is to give appropriate compensation to members of society when they encounter this situation, to ensure their basic living standards and to prevent the emergence of unstable factors;

2. Social insurance is conducive to ensuring the smooth reproduction of social labor. Laborers will inevitably encounter all kinds of accidents in the process of labor, resulting in the pause of labor reproduction. Social insurance is to give necessary economic compensation and living security when workers encounter the above-mentioned risk accidents, so that the labor force can be restored;

3. Social insurance is beneficial to social equity. Due to the difference of people's education level and labor ability, the income gap will be caused. Social insurance can collect insurance funds through compulsory collection of insurance premiums, subsidize low-income workers or those who have lost their sources of livelihood, improve their living standards, and achieve fair distribution of society to a certain extent;

4. Social insurance is conducive to promoting social progress. Insurance has the characteristics of mutual assistance, and social insurance can better reflect the spirit of mutual assistance and cooperation.

To sum up, individuals should pay social security according to the standards set by the local government, and at the same time, they can reduce the burden of social security fees according to various preferential policies. If there is a problem in the process of paying social security, it can be paid back within the specified time, but it cannot affect the established social security benefits.
