Don't you have a job to pay social security card?

Although the state does not force freelancers to pay social security, social security is closely related to other policies. In many areas, social security is the first threshold for foreign households to apply for residence permits, settle points, buy cars and houses, and send their children to school. No matter how high your income is, you can't solve these basic living problems without paying social security. So we suggest not going to work and paying social security. Freelancers have two ways to pay social security according to the location of flexible employment: employee social security, employee medical insurance and employee pension insurance, and the welfare benefits are the same as those of ordinary employees. Residents' social security is also paid by the social security bureau where the household registration is located, including residents' medical insurance and residents' endowment insurance. The functions of social security card can be summarized as personal information record, medical insurance payment record, medical treatment and drug purchase, social security affairs and insurance premium amount inquiry, and more functions may be added in the future.
