I started paying social security at the age of 30, but I don't have to pay it at the age of 45?

Legal analysis: when the insured person of the old-age insurance reaches the statutory retirement age and the accumulated payment period reaches the minimum, he can enjoy the old-age insurance treatment, so it doesn't matter if there is a gap in the payment process of the old-age insurance, and he can choose to supplement or renew the insurance.

Legal basis: Article 57 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the employing unit shall, within 30 days from its establishment, apply to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration with its business license, registration certificate or unit seal. The social insurance agency shall, within fifteen days from the date of receiving the application, examine and issue the social insurance registration certificate. Where the social insurance registration items of the employing unit are changed or the employing unit is terminated according to law, it shall, within 30 days from the date of change or termination, go to the social insurance agency to handle the change or cancellation of social insurance registration. The market supervision and management department, the civil affairs department and the organization management organ shall promptly inform the social insurance agency of the establishment and termination of the employing unit, and the public security organ shall promptly inform the social insurance agency of the birth, death, household registration, migration and cancellation of the individual.
