Are laid-off workers exempt from social security for three years?

Laid-off workers who are re-employed can enjoy preferential policies (1) tax reduction and exemption policies. For laid-off workers who are engaged in community residents' service industry and meet the scope of tax-free projects (all localities can add projects according to actual conditions), they will be given preferential tax policies such as exemption from business tax, personal income tax, urban maintenance and construction tax and additional education fees within the prescribed time limit. (2) Preferential policies in industrial and commercial registration. Laid-off workers who apply to engage in self-employment or start private enterprises are exempted from industrial and commercial administration fees within one year of opening; Laid-off workers engaged in community residents' service industry can be exempted from business administration administrative charge within three years. (3) Preferential policies for administrative fees. Laid-off workers engaged in community residents' service industry can be exempted from administrative fees within 3 years. Laid-off workers apply to engage in individual industrial and commercial operation, cottage industry or start private enterprises, and the departments of industry and commerce, urban construction and so on shall handle relevant formalities in time, and reduce or exempt the administrative charge for industrial and commercial administration within one year of its opening. (4) Preferential credit policy. For small and medium-sized enterprises and employment service enterprises that actively absorb laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises, as well as laid-off workers who are engaged in individual economy or organized to establish service-oriented enterprises, relevant commercial banks and credit cooperatives should actively give loan support as long as they meet the national industrial policy, marketable products and loan conditions, and city commercial banks and credit cooperatives should give priority to such loans. In addition, according to the relevant documents of the State Council, the unemployed can enjoy the preferential policies of reemployment for laid-off workers. You can refer to: 1. You need to take the original work permit and the preferential card of the labor bureau to the industrial and commercial office or the industrial and commercial branch office to ask for an investigation letter (it seems to be called an investigation letter, but I can't remember it clearly, so you can ask there). 2. Take the investigation letter to all districts to prove that you have not engaged in self-employed activities in those districts. 3. Take the investigation letter to the office (or neighborhood committee) where you live to issue a certificate.
