Should social security be paid continuously? Does it matter if you don't pay continuously?

Social security does not need to be paid continuously, and intermittent payment will not have a serious impact immediately, but it may have some adverse consequences in the long run.

The consequences of interrupting the payment of social security are as follows:

(1) will seriously affect the future pension collection, and the longer the interruption, the greater the pension loss;

(2) if the length of service is not calculated during the interruption period, the length of service salary will be paid as usual;

(3) There is no personal account fund during the interruption period, and personal accounts will be reduced in the future, which will cause losses when calculating endowment insurance.

How to pay social security:

1. Bring relevant certificates and materials to the Social Labor and Social Security Bureau where the household registration is located to apply for social security;

2. Fill in the application for social security payment at the Social Security Bureau and submit it;

3. After the application is approved, you can pay the social insurance fee.

To sum up, although social security does not need to be paid continuously, in order to avoid the adverse consequences caused by long-term discontinuous payment, individuals are advised to keep the continuity of social security payment as much as possible. If it cannot be paid in time for some reason, it should be paid as soon as possible, so as not to affect personal rights and interests.
