I am 52 years old, can I still pay social security?

52-year-old men can buy social security. Men 16 years old and under 60 years old, and women 16 years old and under 55 years old can apply for social security. Individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance for employees who have paid less than 15 years after reaching the statutory retirement age may apply for participation in the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance at their domicile.
