Some laid-off workers and flexible employees need to pay social security. What is the reason?

For some laid-off workers or flexible employees, many people require them to pay certain social security fees after retirement. This situation does exist in some places. I combed it, and it probably belongs to several situations.

First, the payment period needs to be calculated for the workers under the previous labor contract system, because the state-owned enterprises began to implement the labor contract system from 1986, and the newly recruited contract workers began to pay the old-age insurance premium. However, due to the relatively low salary at that time, the payment was not standardized, and some places paid it, while others did not.

Generally, retirement is treated as the payment period, but in some places, it is required that the pension insurance that should be paid according to the regulations should be paid for several years, which is convenient for calculating the pension according to the current method and increasing the balance of the individual account fund. Recently, a friend of mine encountered such a situation when he retired. After paying according to the regulations, his pension will increase.

Second, some people who have broken their length of service sometimes have financial problems after being laid off or when they are employed flexibly, so in the process of paying endowment insurance, their contributions have been cut off many times. If monthly payment is not made intermittently, the stipulated minimum payment period 15 years may not be reached.

Therefore, in order to help these comrades retire smoothly, the social security department reminds them that these intermittent payment times can be paid back. After the payment, the retirement conditions can be met, and the payment period can be increased, and the pension will be higher.

Supplementary medical insurance for laid-off workers or flexible employees who meet retirement conditions. Some people meet retirement conditions although the payment period of old-age insurance has reached the prescribed payment period. However, the payment period of medical insurance can not reach the prescribed payment period, which does not affect timely retirement. However, if medical insurance is paid back, retirees can enjoy medical insurance benefits after retirement.

Therefore, due to the consideration of job responsibilities, the social security department will also remind retirees to pay medical insurance. Of course, if it is difficult to pay medical insurance in one lump sum, it can also be paid year by year until the prescribed payment period expires.

To sum up, some laid-off workers or flexible employees need to pay social security for various reasons. Of course, specific reasons need to be specifically consulted with the local social security department. But from my point of view, there are still some problems such as the determination of the deemed payment period, the interruption of payment in the middle, or medical insurance.
