Can social security be transferred across cities?

Social security cannot be transferred across cities.

According to the Interim Measures for the Transfer and Continuation of Social Insurance issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, social insurance can be transferred and continued between different cities. Specifically, a person who is re-employed in another city after dissolving the labor relationship in one city can continue to pay social insurance in the new unit, and the social insurance premium paid by the original unit can also be paid by the new unit. This can ensure that the individual's social insurance rights and interests are guaranteed, and the continuity of social insurance will not be affected by the changes in the city. Social insurance policies and standards in different cities may be different, and the specific transfer and connection procedures and requirements need to be operated with reference to local regulations.
