Accidentally paid social security to the departing employee. Can I return it?

Legal subjectivity:

When employees resign, social security can't be retired in advance. You need to meet the conditions before you can enjoy social security benefits, and you can't return them directly. If an employee reaches retirement age and does not enjoy pension insurance benefits, he can return the individual contribution. Prior to this, social security can only apply for transfer accumulation and cannot be returned. The personal contribution of medical insurance is in the employee's personal account, which can be used to treat diseases when he is sick. The health account part of the personal account can still be used to buy medicines after leaving the company.

Legal objectivity:

Article 60 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the employing unit shall declare on its own and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time. Except for legal reasons such as force majeure, the payment shall not be postponed or reduced. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.
