Will social security be transferred to children when parents die?

Legal analysis: the social security premium of citizens can be inherited, and social security is also the legitimate income earned by citizens before their death. However, when handling inheritance, you need to go directly to the Social Security Bureau and submit the relevant documents of the decedent and heir to obtain it. Pension and medical insurance are social security provided by the state to share pension and medical expenses. When the decedent dies, the personal account shall be cancelled, and the balance belongs to personal property, which should be included in the scope of inheritance and inherited according to legal procedures.

Legal basis: Article 14 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that individual accounts for basic old-age insurance shall not be withdrawn in advance, and the bookkeeping interest rate shall not be lower than the bank's interest rate for the same period, and interest tax shall be exempted. When an individual dies, the balance of the individual account can be inherited. If the insured person of medical insurance dies, the accumulated amount of his personal account shall be paid to the heir in one lump sum; If there is no heir, it will be transferred to the basic medical insurance pooling fund.
