Does not "expire" even if you lose your immigration status.

Unlike a visa status, Social Security number never expires. And, so long as you remember your SSN, you do not need to have a Social Security card to obtain your credit report.

You can use the number to get a credit report, but you cannot get a new card.

Yes, as long as your local Social Security Office does not ask for proof of your valid immigration status.
