Before 1998, the social security paid by the company could not be found.

Legal analysis: whether social security is paid or not can be found out, unless the old-age insurance was not paid at that time. 1. Telephone enquiry: Call the service telephone number of Social Security Bureau 12333 for enquiry. Second, the social security center inquiry: you can consult the local medical insurance department or social security personnel of the unit. Third, online inquiry: First, open the official website website of the medical insurance card handled by your city. Enter directly after finding it, and then find the information query module and click Enter. Then click on the personal medical insurance query to start the query. Then enter your ID number and password at the inquiry entrance for inquiry.

Legal basis: Article 84 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

1, if the employer fails to apply for social insurance registration, the social insurance administrative department shall order it to make corrections within a time limit;

2. If no correction is made within the time limit, the employer shall be fined more than one time and less than three times the social insurance premium payable;

3. The directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel shall be fined from 500 yuan to 3000 yuan.
