Can I still pay social security after retirement?

Legal analysis: Generally speaking, the reason why you don't need to pay social security after retirement is very simple, because after reaching the legal retirement age, you can retire normally and enjoy a monthly pension. When you finish the retirement formalities, you don't need to continue to pay social security, and then enjoy social security rewards, that is, pension benefits. But not everyone does not need to pay social security after retirement. In fact, a small number of people really need to continue to pay social security after retirement. This kind of person is mainly because she can't reach the minimum payment period 15 years before this normal legal retirement age, so she has to choose the way of delaying retirement to continue to participate in her old-age insurance, and finally ensure that the payment period reaches 15 years or more before she can retire normally and enjoy the treatment and conditions of receiving a monthly pension.
