Is the Social Security Bureau the same as the Social Security Center?

Legal analysis: No, social security was only a department of the Labor Bureau at first. Taking the lowest county as the standard, the labor bureau is a bureau-level unit, and the social security is a stock-level unit, which was later upgraded to a deputy bureau. Many cities are already a department called Labor and Social Security Bureau, but in some places there are still two independent units called Labor Bureau and Social Security Bureau. So whether it is the same place or not, there are differences in every region. They are two aspects of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of workers, with different views and complementary relations.
