Can I retire if my social security is less than 15?

Employees who have reached the retirement age of 50 but have insufficient social security 15 years are usually unable to go through retirement procedures.

Employees who have reached the retirement age of 50 but have insufficient social security 15 years are usually unable to go through retirement procedures. Individuals who participate in social insurance can only receive a monthly pension after reaching the statutory retirement age and paying the old-age insurance 15 years, otherwise they can't receive a pension.

What does the social security contribution base mean?

Social security payment base refers to the social insurance payment base of employees in a social security year. The social security payment base will be determined according to the average monthly income tax declared by employees in the previous year, which is an important basis for paying social security.

After the same payment year is determined, the social security payment base cannot be changed. February to May of each year is the time to declare the social security base of the next settlement year.

There are upper and lower limits on the social security payment base. The upper limit means that the part whose salary exceeds 300% of the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year is not included in the social security base. The lower limit means that if the salary is lower than 60% of the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year, 60% of the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year will be used as the social security base.
