What if social security has not been paid for fifteen years?

Social security can be paid back after fifteen years, and it can also be transferred to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance. If the accumulated social security contributions of the elderly who have reached retirement age are less than fifteen years, they can be paid back to fifteen years, or they can be transferred to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance. Enterprise employees have reached the legal retirement age, and if the social security has not been paid for 15 years, they cannot retire and receive pensions. The company will automatically terminate the labor relationship with employees, and the enterprise will not be able to handle retirement for employees. Individual industrial and commercial households or flexible employees who have paid pension insurance for less than 15 years cannot apply for retirement and receive pension. Those who choose to transfer to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance shall enjoy the corresponding pension insurance benefits in accordance with the provisions of the State Council. If you reach retirement age, you can choose not to continue to pay employee pension insurance, and switch to urban and rural residents' insurance after considering your personal economic situation and physical condition.

Legal basis: Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
