This would be a question to ask the Social Security Administration.

Yes as long as the conviction is not for social security fraud and the person is not in jail.

I do not believe there is any block to receiving Social Security if you are convicted, but the definitive answer can only be obtained from the Social Security Administration. You have nothing to lose by applying.

Yes, a convicted felon can still get social security. The only time during which they might not be able to collect it is while encarcerated.

I don't believe a felony conviction affects SS benefits. If actually incarcerated benefits may be denied. You should consult a layer who handles SS cases.
