Can you still use social security after canceling your mainland hukou?

After the cancellation of the mainland hukou, in principle, you can no longer use the mainland social security. However, you can go to the local human resources bureau to inquire about the specific policies and procedures to see if you can transfer or maintain your social security eligibility.

After the cancellation of their mainland hukou, residents will no longer be mainland residents and their social security contributions will also change. The current social security system in the Mainland is divided into basic pension insurance for urban workers, basic medical insurance for urban workers, unemployment insurance and work-related injury insurance, etc. Depending on the scope of coverage and the standard of payment, after canceling the Mainland hukou, in principle, you can no longer use the Mainland social security system. However, in practice, there are some differences in whether and how they can continue to be used. On the one hand, after the cancellation of the Mainland hukou, the social security protection can be transferred to the social security department of the province or region where it is located for processing, which requires the provision of appropriate proof of identity and application materials, and the fulfillment of the conditions for transfer to be realized. On the other hand, for people with specific needs, they can also choose to maintain their eligibility to participate in the Mainland's social security system. In this case, it is necessary to negotiate with the mainland social security authorities or relevant departments to confirm that the relevant conditions of the mainland social security system are met and to make the relevant social security contributions. Overall, after canceling the mainland hukou, the situation of social security will change to a certain extent, which needs to be selected and processed according to the individual situation and actual needs.

If an expatriate cancels his or her Mainland hukou, can he or she continue to enjoy social security protection in the Mainland?

However, you can check with the social security department in your region to see if there is a corresponding policy on social security protection, and apply and process the application in accordance with the relevant regulations.

After the cancellation of the mainland hukou, different options and guidance exist regarding the use and handling of mainland social security.
