you can recover the social security seven years ago, and the specific recovery methods are as follows:

1. Social security bureau pays. Go directly to the social security bureau to handle it, and you can pay social security for urban workers or urban residents;

2. The years of old-age pension and medical insurance can be accumulated. If the payment is cut off, just pay back enough years later. You can also choose to pay back at some time in the future. It is recommended to pay back for one year before retirement. Of course, if the retirement age is still less than the minimum payment period, you can apply for deferred payment of old-age insurance at the place where you register. If you register in a foreign country, you need to pay enough for 1 years before you can apply for deferred payment.

years of social security payment:

1. There are five types of insurance in social security, so the payment years corresponding to different types of insurance are different. In social security, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance and industrial injury insurance have no fixed number of years. Basically, as long as they can be paid all the time, they can always enjoy the protection, so there is no saying that they don't have to pay for many years.

2. For the old-age insurance, it needs to be paid for at least 15 years. Only in this way can you enjoy the pension after retirement. Of course, medical insurance also requires a payment period. For women, they can enjoy lifelong medical insurance benefits if they pay 2 years before retirement and 25 years before retirement.
