Pay social security while receiving unemployment benefits.

It is ok to pay social security while receiving unemployment benefits.

While receiving unemployment benefits, you can continue to pay social security, but it is limited to medical insurance and endowment insurance. Because receiving unemployment benefits means unemployment, no work unit and stable income, it is in line with the regulations to continue to pay medical insurance and endowment insurance in the five insurances under this circumstance. For the unemployed, during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits, the unemployment insurance foundation helps to pay medical insurance premiums, while the old-age insurance premiums need to be paid by individuals themselves. This can ensure that during the period of unemployment, personal medical insurance and endowment insurance will not be interrupted because of unemployment, thus safeguarding basic social security rights and interests.

Conditions for receiving unemployment benefits that should be paid attention to when paying social security:

1, before unemployment, employers and individuals must pay unemployment insurance premiums for one year;

2. Non-voluntary termination of employment;

You must have registered as unemployed and expressed your willingness to continue looking for a job.

To sum up, the unemployed can continue to pay medical insurance and endowment insurance while receiving unemployment benefits. Doing so can ensure that individuals' social security rights will not be interrupted during unemployment. However, it should be noted that the conditions for receiving unemployment benefits include: employers and individuals have paid unemployment insurance premiums for one year, suspended employment against their will, registered unemployment and expressed their willingness to continue job hunting.
