Can social security be merged?

Legal analysis: Yes, at present, only endowment insurance can be transferred and merged across provinces. But merger or transfer is not recommended. Although the country requires that everyone can only have one social security number, since the unified management of data has not been realized in all regions of the country, it is enough to continue to pay two copies if you have the ability and conditions. After the insured establishes the basic old-age insurance relationship in the new place of employment and pays the fee, the employer or the insured shall submit a written application for the transfer and continuation of the basic old-age insurance relationship to the social security agency in the new place of insurance.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 4 Employers and individuals who pay social insurance premiums according to law in People's Republic of China (PRC) have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights and interests records, and ask social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consultation and other related services.

Individuals enjoy social insurance benefits according to law and have the right to supervise the payment of their own units.

Article 58 An employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.

The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
