Can I still buy social security at the age of 55

Legal analysis: In principle, as long as men and women have not reached the statutory retirement age: men are 60 years old and women are 55 years old, they can continue to pay social security, but they need to pay 15 years to enjoy retirement benefits.

Legal basis: Article 16 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance will receive the basic old-age pension on a monthly basis if they have paid a total of fifteen years when they reach the statutory retirement age. Individuals who have reached the statutory retirement age and have paid less than 15 years can receive the basic pension on a monthly basis, or they can be transferred to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance according to the regulations of the State Council, and enjoy the corresponding pension insurance benefits.
