Can I pay social security when the company breaks down?

Legal analysis: Yes. Social security can be paid in the following ways: 1, intermediary payment: there are many social security agencies now, so you can ask the intermediary to help them pay certain handling fees and social security fees; 2. Self-handling: If you are a flexible employee, you can directly apply to the Social Security Bureau for payment/supplement of social security. If you are an employee, you can also consult the local social security bureau and then apply for payment; 3. Repayment by the company: If the social security is interrupted due to the company, the company shall be responsible for the payment; If the social security is interrupted due to personal reasons such as resignation, you can find the original company to help pay back, or find a new company to help pay back after you join the company.

Legal basis: Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
