Is social security paid at the place of payment or at the place of household registration?

The place where social security is collected depends on individual contributions and the choice of the last insured place before retirement. The following is the specific situation:

If an individual is insured at the domicile, he will pay 15 years and receive a pension at the domicile after retirement.

Individuals who are insured in multiple cities will receive pensions in the area where the household registration with the longest payment period or the longest accumulated payment period is located according to the principle of "household registration priority".

Individuals who have paid less than 10 years in all insured places need to transfer back to the last city with a payment period of 10 years to receive pensions.

The relationship between social security payment and household registration is not completely bound, as follows:

The social security of enterprise employees is paid by the unit, and the place where social security is insured is usually the city where the work unit is registered, which has no direct relationship with the place where the household registration is located.

If you pay employee social security as a flexible employee, you generally need a local household registration to participate in the insurance. If the household registration changes, the social security relationship of flexible employees needs to be transferred accordingly.

Personal purchase of social security is usually related to the place where the household registration is located and needs to be handled by the social security bureau where the household registration is located.

If the attribution of the social security card and the insured place are inconsistent, it needs to be changed, and the attribution and the insured place need to be changed to the same place. Specifically, apply to the insured place to transfer the social security of the ownership to the insured place. Otherwise, life insurance benefits will be affected. Because everyone can only have one social security card, they can't enjoy social insurance benefits in two places at the same time.

If it is necessary to transfer social security in different places, it needs to be done according to certain procedures, including applying for transferring social security relationship and applying for social security merger in different places.

To sum up, the relationship between social security payment and household registration depends on the type of social security payment and personal choice.
