Is there any discount for unemployed people to pay social security?

During the period of receiving unemployment benefits, there is no need to pay social security and medical insurance. There is no discount. According to China's Social Insurance Law and Unemployment Insurance Regulations, social insurance cannot be paid during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits. That is, you can't pay old-age insurance during the period of receiving unemployment insurance. However, the unemployed can enjoy medical insurance benefits during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits. According to China's social security laws, those who have paid unemployment insurance premiums for one year before unemployment and have no intention can apply for unemployment insurance benefits. You can enjoy medical insurance benefits during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits, but you can't continue to pay old-age insurance. Article 48 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits, the unemployed shall participate in the basic medical insurance for employees and enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits. The basic medical insurance premiums payable by the unemployed are paid from the unemployment insurance fund, and individuals do not pay the basic medical insurance premiums.

The employing unit shall declare itself and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not postpone or reduce the payment except for legal reasons such as force majeure. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis.
