Social security can be delayed for several months in 2022.

Social security can be delayed for three months in 2022. After the general individual leaves his post, he can go to the local social security bureau to pay social security. Personal social security can only pay endowment insurance and medical insurance. Unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and industrial injury insurance cannot be paid by individuals, but only by companies. If the previous payment has been cut off, you can pay the fee for nearly three months at most. If you leave one unit and re-enter another unit, the employer can also apply to pay social security for employees, but in general, it can only be paid for nearly three months.

Employees who have been cut off from social security payment due to resignation, and the social security cut-off time is less than three months, can apply for supplementary social security. If the interruption time exceeds three months, it is generally impossible to pay back the social security, but it is not absolute. There are differences in the payment of social security in different regions. You can ask the local social security department for details. If the social security payment is interrupted due to enterprise reasons, and the interruption time is less than three months, the unit can bring relevant information to the local social security agency to apply for overdue payment, and pay a certain late fee when overdue payment is made.
