Is the institution that pays social security legal?

Legal analysis: illegal. Workers must sign labor contracts with employers and establish labor relations before they can pay social insurance through their employers. The two sides did not establish a labor contract relationship, but paid social security through affiliated agencies, which is illegal and not allowed by the policy.

Legal basis: Article 88 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) defrauds social insurance benefits by fraud, forgery of certification materials or other means, and the social insurance administrative department shall order it to return the defrauded social insurance benefits and impose a fine of not less than two times but not more than five times the amount defrauded.
