Can individuals voluntarily not pay social security?

Individuals are not allowed to voluntarily fail to pay social security.

According to the regulations, workers should participate in social insurance, pay social insurance premiums and enjoy social insurance benefits. This is the basis for safeguarding the basic rights and interests of workers and the social security system. Therefore, it is illegal for individuals to voluntarily not pay social security. Individuals who do not pay social security fees according to regulations will not be able to enjoy social insurance benefits and will also bear corresponding legal responsibilities. In addition, the social security system implements the principle of * * * the same fee and * * * the same income. In other words, the social security system is based on the contributions of all insured persons. Only when all insured people pay social security fees together can society achieve the goal of universal social security.

The role of paying social security is as follows:

1. Those who participate in endowment insurance will receive pension, pension and funeral expenses after retirement;

2. Participate in medical insurance, which can be used for medical reimbursement and medical insurance treatment services for the elderly;

3. Participate in unemployment insurance, and the insured person will receive unemployment insurance money after unemployment;

4. Participate in work-related injury insurance and pay work-related injury medical expenses, living care expenses, disability subsidies and disability allowances.

To sum up, voluntary non-payment of social security by individuals is not only illegal, but also inconsistent with public interests and personal long-term interests.

Legal basis:

Article 60 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law

The employing unit shall declare itself and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not postpone or reduce the payment except for legal reasons such as force majeure. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis.

Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.
