Can social security be stopped midway?

Social security can be stopped midway.

Pension insurance requires a minimum of 15 years of accumulated contributions, and you can receive a monthly pension when you reach retirement age. If you stop paying in the middle of the year, you can make up for it, but it may affect your pension entitlement after retirement. Women who have contributed for 20 years and men who have contributed for 25 years can enjoy lifelong medical insurance after retirement. If medical insurance is interrupted, you will not be able to enjoy medical insurance during the interruption period.

However, there is a buffer period from the date of interruption of medical insurance. If the insurance is not renewed for more than three months, the number of consecutive years of contributions will be recalculated, and the amount of reimbursement for medical insurance and the amount of medical insurance for major illnesses will also be affected.

In addition to the impact on the "long term" results such as the accounting of contribution period and the receipt of social security benefits, in some cities, the impact on the short term plans of the insured to buy a house or a car and to settle in the city is more direct.

In megacities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the number of consecutive years of social security payments is directly linked to the qualifications for buying a home, buying a car and settling down. In Beijing, for example, non-Beijing residents are required to pay social security or taxes for five years to qualify for a home, while those two conditions must be met to buy a car.

Additionally, both the purchase of a home and a car in Beijing emphasize "continuous" payment, and make-up payments are invalid. In the case of the Beijing residence, seven or more years of continuous social security payments in Beijing is a must.
