Is social security paid annually or monthly?

Legal analysis: whether social security is paid annually or monthly depends on the situation. Social security can be divided into urban workers' social security, urban and rural residents' social security and flexible employment social security according to different payers. If the insured is an urban employee social security, it is usually paid once a month, and the unit and employees have to pay the fee every month. And if the insured is the social security of urban and rural residents, it is basically paid once a year, and the insured can pay the annual fee without paying it every month. As for flexible employment social security, the general insured can choose their own payment methods, which can be once a year or once a month.

Legal basis: Article 62 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. If the employer fails to declare the amount of social insurance premiums that should be paid according to the regulations, the amount that should be paid shall be determined according to 1 10% of the amount paid by the employer last month. After the payment unit completes the declaration procedures, the social insurance fee collection agency shall make settlement in accordance with the provisions.
