Do you need to transfer social security when changing jobs in the same city?

No need. Social security transfer in different areas of the city is not used, and employees change their work units. The basic old-age insurance and employee medical insurance can be transferred to the new unit to continue to participate in the insurance according to regulations. Workers who work from one unit to another in this city can be insured by the new unit as long as they give their computer numbers and ID numbers to the new unit. Regardless of whether the employee has stopped paying social security, the information before and after enrollment, the years of enrollment payment and the accumulated amount of personal social security account will be merged automatically when the employee is newly enrolled.

Social security transfer needs to go through three processes, the insured only needs to apply, and the rest of the work is transferred by the social security departments of the two places. The new insured place reviews the application for transfer and connection and sends a consent letter to the original insured place-the original insured place handles the transfer formalities-the new insured place accepts the transfer formalities and funds, and the transfer and connection formalities can be handled after the three processes are completed. The policy stipulates that each process takes up to 15 working days, which means that for the insured, all formalities can be completed within 45 working days at most.
