Can social security be paid by both companies?

Social security cannot be paid by two companies at the same time.

According to the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Transfer and Continuation of the Basic Endowment Insurance Relationship for Employees in Urban Enterprises, if the insured person is employed in two or more places at the same time and has a basic endowment insurance relationship, when handling the transfer and continuance of the basic endowment insurance relationship, the social security agency will negotiate with him to decide to keep one of the basic endowment insurance relationship and the personal account, and clean up other relationships at the same time, and the amount stored in the personal account will be returned to him, and the corresponding individual payment period will not be counted again.

Therefore, social security cannot be paid by two units at the same time, because there can only be one payer at the same time, and it cannot be paid repeatedly.

The process of transferring social security to a new unit is as follows:

1. The original unit submitted a written application for the transfer and continuation of social security relations to the new unit;

2, the new unit to review the transfer application, and send the bid-winning notice to the original unit;

3, the original unit for transfer procedures;

4, the new unit to accept the transfer procedures and funds, will confirm the situation in a timely manner to inform the insured.

To sum up, in the specific operation, it is recommended to consult the local social security department or professional institutions to ensure that the social security transfer and merger procedures are handled in accordance with the regulations to avoid unnecessary troubles.
