Can social security be paid in two places?

Legal analysis: social security can be paid in two different cities at the same time, but the state will only recognize social security in one city. At present, the social security payment period is cumulative. Therefore, if you live in Nanchang at present, you'd better buy social security in Nanchang, just stop the insurance in your hometown first, or transfer it, or wait until you retire. The old-age insurance in the current social security can be transferred nationwide.

Legal basis: Article 64 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law includes basic endowment insurance fund, basic medical insurance fund, industrial injury insurance fund, unemployment insurance fund and maternity insurance fund. In addition to the basic medical insurance fund and maternity insurance fund combined accounting, other social insurance funds are accounted for separately according to social insurance types. Social insurance funds implement a unified accounting system throughout the country. The social insurance fund is earmarked for special purposes, and no organization or individual may occupy or misappropriate it. The basic old-age insurance fund will gradually implement national overall planning, and other social insurance funds will gradually implement provincial overall planning. The specific time and steps shall be stipulated by the State Council.
