Can social security be used by parents?

Employees' social security cannot be used directly by their parents.

Because social security is employees' own rights and interests, only employees can enjoy social security benefits and reimbursement scope.

Insured family members: Employees whose parents also participate in social security can enjoy corresponding medical insurance benefits and reimbursement scope according to social security policies. In this case, employees need to ensure that their parents' social security contributions and enrollment procedures are properly handled;

When choosing commercial medical insurance, employees need to pay attention to the credibility and insurance cost of insurance companies;

3. Pay medical expenses: If parents need medical treatment, employees can pay medical expenses for them. Although this method can't give parents social security benefits and reimbursement scope, it can help parents get timely medical care.

Conditions for the use of social security generally include the following aspects:

1. Pay social security fees: Only those who pay social security fees can enjoy social security benefits. Under normal circumstances, social insurance premiums are paid by individuals and units, and the payment standards and proportions vary according to regions and policies;

2. Social security identity authentication: Social security identity authentication is required, usually by swiping a social security card or entering a social security number to confirm your social security identity and participation;

3. Eligibility for social security benefits: Different social security benefits have different eligibility requirements.
