Is it necessary to transfer social security across cities and provinces?

Whether social security needs to be transferred in different places depends on the length of retirement age. If the retirement age is less than ten years, there is no need to transfer. Moreover, it depends on the length of stay in different places. If you stay in a different place for a long time, you can transfer to another school, but if it is only a few years, it is unnecessary.

If it belongs to a general account, that is to say, after reaching the legal retirement age, if the payment period meets the local regulations, you can go through the retirement procedures and enjoy the retirement benefits there. Such a social security account can be transferred if you want. If it is a temporary account, it means that you are not eligible to retire there in the future. Social security can only be transferred across provinces and cities, which is related to future retirement benefits, and it can be handled twice, or it can be liquidated.

Specific operation flow of social security transfer

1. Enroll in the social security transfer place normally (there is a social security account in the transfer place), and then handle the transfer and connection of social security relations in the transfer place;

2. After the application for social security relationship transfer and continuation is approved, provide relevant vouchers;

3. Go through the transfer and connection procedures at the social security bureau where the social security is transferred out;

4. Inform the insured person to go to the local social security bureau to confirm the transfer of social security relations after the transfer.

The whole process takes 45 working days, about two months. Workers can apply for "old-age insurance payment voucher" and "medical insurance payment voucher" to be transferred out of social security in the social security bureau of the original insured place. Then apply for the merger of social security and medical insurance in different places in the social security bureau where you work now. The transfer and merger of social security does not affect the calculation of accumulated payment period. However, due to regional differences, each province and city will be different. For details, please consult the local social security bureau and provident fund management center, subject to the official answer.
