Can I pay social security when I receive unemployment benefits?

Legal analysis: you can't pay social security if you receive unemployment benefits. After unemployment, the unit will not help individuals pay social security, because the original unit paid social security for employees, and can not continue to participate in the insurance as an individual after unemployment. If you lose your job, you will interrupt your old-age insurance. However, the unemployed can participate in the basic medical insurance for employees and enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits. In addition, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and work injury insurance cannot be paid during this period.

Legal basis: Article 51 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if an unemployed person has any of the following circumstances during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits, he will stop receiving unemployment insurance benefits and enjoy other unemployment insurance benefits at the same time: (1) re-employment; (2) Those who should be conquered for military service; (3) Having emigrated; (four) enjoy the basic old-age insurance benefits; (5) Refusing to accept appropriate jobs or training provided by departments or institutions designated by local people's governments without justifiable reasons.
