How do I withdraw pension when leaving China?

english.shanghai.gov.cn

If you plan to leave China before reaching the retirement age – 60 for men and 55 for women - your personal social insurance account will be retained and if you return to work in China in the future, the years of contribution will be cumulatively calculated. 

You can also choose to terminate your social insurance account and withdraw the balance in a lump sum. 

 

1. If you are still employed

You can give a written application to your employer and they will help to terminate the social insurance account on behalf of you at the Social Security Center in your local district. 

2. If your employment ends

You can submit the written application yourself to the Social Security Center in your local district or the neighborhood office.  If you have problems on how to fill out the application, you can go to the Social Security Center for assistance.
