How many months can you make up for a broken social security payment?

Legal analysis: under normal circumstances, the general unit can only do 2 months of retroactive payment, if you need a longer period of time had to be operated through a number of agencies. Objectively speaking, social security can be paid after the break. But it depends on the specific local policy, and can not be generalized. Social insurance premium collection agencies shall collect social insurance premiums in full and on time in accordance with the law, and inform employers and individuals of the payment situation on a regular basis. If the employer fails to pay the social insurance premiums in full and on time, the social insurance premium collection agency shall order the employer to pay the premiums within a certain period of time or make up the full amount. If the employer fails to pay or replenish the social insurance premiums after the deadline, the social insurance premium collection agency may inquire into the deposit accounts of banks and other financial institutions; it may also apply to the relevant administrative departments at or above the county level to make a decision on the allocation of social insurance premiums, and notify in writing the banks or other financial institutions with which it maintains accounts of the allocation of social insurance premiums. If the balance of an employer's account is less than the amount of social insurance premiums that should be paid, the social insurance premium collection agency may require the employer to provide a guarantee and sign an agreement on deferred payment of premiums. If the employer fails to pay the full amount of social insurance premiums and fails to provide a guarantee, the social insurance premium collection agency may apply to the people's court for the seizure, attachment or auction of the property whose value is equal to the amount of social insurance premiums that should be paid, and the proceeds from the auction shall be used to offset the payment of social insurance premiums.
