Can I still buy social security when I am 50 years old?

You can also buy social security at the age of 50.

1. The policy stipulates that the retirement age is 60 and the payment period is 15. Men don't pay employee social security until they are 50 years old. In the case of uninterrupted midway, during the period of 10 from the age of 50 to the retirement age of 60, the insured is ill and hospitalized, and medical care can still be guaranteed. If the payment period of social security pension insurance for employees does not reach the prescribed payment period, they cannot enjoy the pension insurance benefits, nor can they enjoy the lifelong medical insurance reimbursement benefits after retirement. However, if the insured has not paid social security by the time he should retire at the age of 60, and is in good health and full of energy, he can also apply for delayed retirement. After the pension insurance payment period expires, you can enjoy basic pension and lifelong medical insurance.

2. However, considering that many elderly people's physical function declines seriously after they get old, their physical strength and energy can't support delaying retirement and continuing to work, and maternity insurance in employee social security is basically useless for people around 50 years old, it may not be cost-effective to pay employee social security. About 50 years old, whether to start paying employee social security depends on whether you can work in the unit for a long time and whether you are healthy.
