What about social security when I go to prison?

Legal analysis: you can't participate in social insurance and enjoy social security benefits during your sentence. At the same time, you can't renew your insurance during your sentence, but you can continue to pay after you get out of prison, and you can combine the previous payment to calculate the number of years. If a retiree dies during serving his sentence or reeducation through labor, the individual contributions in his personal account can be inherited according to regulations.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 4 Employers and individuals who pay social insurance premiums according to law in People's Republic of China (PRC) have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights and interests records, and ask social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consultation and other related services.

Individuals enjoy social insurance benefits according to law and have the right to supervise the payment of their own units.

Article 58 An employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.
