Is social security paid monthly or annually?

The payment method of social security depends on the type of payer and the type of social security insured, as follows:

1. According to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, social security for urban employees is usually paid monthly, and employers and employees have to pay social security fees every month.

2. Social security for urban and rural residents is generally paid annually, and the insured only needs to pay annually.

3. For flexible employees, you can choose to pay annually or monthly. Social security is a public welfare and mutual social security system established by the state, which aims to help and compensate workers in old age, illness, work injury, unemployment and childbirth. The advantage of social security is that it provides a safety net and a series of guarantees for our life.
