To run social security, we must run unemployment registration.

Legal analysis: The reason why you need to apply for unemployment certificate before applying for social security is because it can show that you need labor contract and basic salary when paying social security, and unemployment certificate is one of the conditions for enjoying unemployment relief.

According to the relevant regulations on handling social insurance, units do not need to hold employment and unemployment registration certificates to handle social insurance for employees. Providing employment and unemployment registration certificates is not a prerequisite and necessary condition for the unit to handle social insurance for employees, but only provides auxiliary materials that meet the requirements of the municipal human resources management system.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.
