Can social security be refunded if you die before retirement age?

If an individual dies before reaching the legal retirement age, the funds in his or her social security personal account can be inherited according to the law.

If you die before reaching the legal retirement age, you will undoubtedly have the right to withdraw from the pension insurance you have previously paid. But before you do, you need to have the relevant documents ready just in case. The original and a copy of your deceased loved one's death certificate and cremation certificate should be produced to the relevant authorities. According to the regulations, you or your representative will have to fill out and submit an application form for the inheritance or refund of your personal account savings in the pension insurance at the insured organization, or by you or a close friend or relative. Then, in order to further prove the identity of the representative, a certificate of pension insurance participation is issued. A detailed death and inheritance certificate will also need to be provided to the deceased's community. You will also need to provide the original and photocopies of the identity card, family register and marriage certificate of the deceased and the heirs.
