Can social security be paid?

Social security can pay on behalf of others, as follows:

1. Individuals can find a formal social security intermediary company, attach the social security relationship to this enterprise, and pay the social security in the name of the employees of the enterprise, and the enterprise will pay the fees to the Social Security Bureau on time. However, individuals need to bear all social security costs;

2. If an individual has no time to go to the Social Security Bureau to pay the relevant fees, he may entrust others to handle the payment procedures on his behalf. The agent can carry his/her ID card, the insured's ID card, social security card and other materials, and go through the payment procedures at the social security outlets.

Legal basis: Article 63 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

If the employer fails to pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, the social insurance premium collection agency shall order it to pay or make up within a time limit.

If the employer fails to pay or repay the social insurance premium within the time limit, the social insurance premium collection agency may inquire about its deposit account in banks and other financial institutions; And can 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 their bank or other financial institutions in writing to allocate social insurance premiums. If the balance of the employer's account is less than the social insurance premium that should be paid, the social insurance premium collection agency may require the employer to provide guarantee and sign a deferred payment agreement.

If the employer fails to pay the social insurance premium in full and fails to provide guarantee, the social insurance premium collection agency may apply to the people's court for sealing up, distraining and auctioning the property whose value is equivalent to the social insurance premium that should be paid, so as to offset the social insurance premium with the proceeds from the auction.
