Can I still pay social security after receiving a pension?

People who have already received a pension can't pay social security under normal circumstances. Pensions are paid according to the social security payment records accumulated by individuals in their careers.

Pension is the old-age security fund issued by the social security fund according to certain standards after the workers reach the legal retirement age and meet certain conditions. They are different institutional arrangements with different purposes and functions.

Second, the restrictions on pension and social security payment.

In this case, there is no need to pay social security fees, and it does not conform to the provisions of the social security system. In addition, from an economic point of view, paying social security again may also increase the economic burden of individuals.

Third, the possibility of special circumstances.

Although under normal circumstances, people who have already received pensions can no longer pay social security, there may be exceptions in some special circumstances. For example, some regions or industries may introduce special policies to allow people who have received pensions to continue to pay social security in order to enjoy higher pension security benefits. However, this situation is rare, and certain conditions need to be met.
