How do unemployed people in Shanghai pay social security?

First, the company will go through the formalities of stopping insurance for you (if you want to pay social security yourself, you'd better take the initiative to explain it to the company, otherwise they may not stop insurance for you, just freeze your account, so you may have been in a state of on-the-job arrears, and the unit payment base is much higher than the individual payment base). Second, your social security relationship will change from company payment to individual payment (the company will automatically transfer after stopping reporting, which usually takes 1-2 months). 3. Go to the personal payment window of the social security hall to apply for personal renewal.

People's Republic of China (PRC) social insurance law

Article 60

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.

Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.
