What if an individual cannot return to China to pay social security due to the epidemic?

Individuals who are unable to return to China to pay social security due to the epidemic can take the following measures to solve it:

1. Deferred payment: Social security bureaus in some places may allow individuals to postpone payment of social security premiums. You can ask whether the local social security bureau has relevant policies and how to handle deferred payment.

2. Paying social security abroad: Some countries allow overseas residents to participate in social security overseas or buy private insurance to make up for their inability to participate in domestic social security. You can consult the relevant institutions in your country to find out whether you can pay social security abroad.

3. Negotiate with the employer: If you work abroad, you can negotiate with the employer or the employer to see if you can temporarily stop paying social insurance premiums and pay them back after returning home.

4. Legal consultation: If the above methods are not applicable, it is recommended to consult professional legal institutions or social security experts to understand relevant laws, regulations and policies and determine the most suitable solution.

It should be noted that the specific solutions may be different due to regional, national and individual situations. It is recommended to consult according to your own specific situation and abide by relevant laws and regulations.
