Q: When is the employee social security contribution base adjusted every year?

The annual adjustment base of social insurance is April.

From February to May every year, the insured unit shall report the social insurance payment base of the next settlement year to the municipal social insurance fee collection management center or the district social insurance agency (hereinafter referred to as the social insurance agency) that handles the insurance registration.

The payment base declared by the insured unit shall be signed or confirmed by the insured employee himself. If the payer fails to declare according to the regulations, the social insurance agency may temporarily determine the monthly payment base at 1 10%.

The payment base is an important calculation basis for the insured to enjoy social insurance benefits. After workers participate in social insurance, social security agencies will establish personal accounts for basic old-age insurance and medical insurance for life.

The higher the base of employees' contributions, the more personal accounts, the more disposable medical expenses and the higher the pension they receive when they retire. However, the concealed, omitted and underreported payment base of insured units and insured personnel will directly reduce the level of social insurance benefits enjoyed by insured personnel.

The monthly payment base of social insurance is generally determined according to the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year, which is determined once a year. Once determined, it may not be changed within one year.
