Is social security paid by other companies or by yourself in the social security bureau?

Choosing the payment method of social security, whether to rely on other companies or go to the social security bureau by yourself, mainly depends on the individual's specific situation and needs.

The advantage of paying social security by affiliated companies is that they can enjoy five insurances: pension, medical care, unemployment, work injury and maternity insurance, and the protection is more comprehensive. But this method needs to pay extra fees, and individuals need to bear all the social security expenses. In addition, there is no actual labor relationship between affiliated companies and individuals, so there are certain legal risks.

However, when you go to the Social Security Bureau to pay social security, you can only pay pension and medical insurance, but you can't enjoy policies such as work injury insurance and maternity insurance. This method is suitable for residents with local accounts, and the expenses are all borne by individuals, but it is relatively simple and direct, and there is no need to pay extra fees for linking.

How to use the social security card:

1, personal social security related information records, electronic certificates and information inquiry, etc. ;

2. Record the insured's name, ID number, date of birth, gender, nationality, household registration and other basic information;

3, query my pension, unemployment, medical care, work injury and maternity insurance payment;

To sum up, employers and individuals who pay social insurance premiums according to law have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights records, and require social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consulting and other related services.
