Can I pay social security by myself?

Social security can be paid by yourself.

If the payment of social security is interrupted due to resignation, job change or other personal reasons, individuals can pay back and restore the continuity of social security. Paying back social security helps to ensure that individuals who need social security benefits, such as medical reimbursement and pension collection, will not be affected by the suspension of payment.

There is no time limit for paying social security. Social security can only be paid within a certain period of time, but if the employer fails to pay the social insurance premium in full and on time, the social insurance premium collection agency shall order it to pay within a certain period of time or make up for it, and from the date of default, an overdue fine of 5/10000 will be added daily. The materials required to pay social security are as follows:

First, proof of identity, usually including ID card, passport or other legal and valid identity documents.

Second, the social security payment certificate.

Third, the application form for overdue payment.

Fourth, proof of income, social security payment in some areas may need proof of income to verify the legitimacy of individual payment ability.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) proves labor relations. Individuals who have labor relations during the period of paying social security need to provide corresponding labor relations certificates.

To sum up, after the social security contributions are cut off, individuals can pay them back by themselves. Paying back social security is helpful to ensure the continuity of individual social security rights and interests, but before paying back, you need to know the local specific policies and regulations and pay attention to the time limit for paying back.
