Can freelancers buy social security?

Freelancers can only make personal contributions to social security in their place of residence. You can't pay it in other areas.

Individuals who pay social security can only pay the two parts of the pension and medical insurance. The specific process is as follows:

3, the place of application: the local community streets of the social security service point, or district and county level of the social security bureau (Bureau of Labor Security);

4, how to pay personal Social security issues in the basic information required: household registration, identity cards and copies, two 1-inch photos;

5, the standard of payment: the previous year's local social wage as the basis for the old-age pension contribution rate is 20%, about 9% of the medical treatment, and at present there are still 80% and 100% of the two grades can be selected.

Individual entrepreneurs without employees, part-time workers who do not participate in basic pension insurance in the employer, and other flexibly employed people can participate in basic pension insurance, and individuals pay basic pension insurance premiums.

It should be noted that the proportion of freelance pension contributions varies slightly from region to region. For example, the Shanghai region stipulates that the upper and lower limits of the base amount of the city insurance paid by freelancers are determined between 300% and 60% of the average monthly salary income of the city's employees in the previous year, and the proportion of pension contributions is 30%.

Freelancers can apply for pension benefits if they reach 60 years of age for men and 55 years of age for women, with 15 years of contributions (including continuous service). Individuals who continue to engage in freelance work and have a legitimate financial income when they reach retirement age may, upon their own application, continue to make contributions for a further period of between one and five years.

Freelancers who participate in basic pension insurance have the same retirement conditions and pension calculation methods as state-owned and collective enterprise workers, i.e., the pension consists of two parts: the basic pension and the individual pension.
