Thanks for commenting. That is a good question.

Honestly, I am not sure. I have an article which discusses how auxiliary benefits paid to spouses and children can continue despite the incarceration of the disabled individual: http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2009/04/do…

But that is another matter.

Checking the regulations (https://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/40…) seems to suggest that benefits could continue to an incarcerated individual before conviction or even after conviction (if the conviction is not a felony or punishable by at least a year in jail or death).

So, the regulations suggest, yes, benefits could continue during incarceration but before conviction. Although, I wonder if there isn't some other provision that would prevent the benefits from being paid.

If a person is in jail but has not been convicted of a crime yet , awaiting trial does social security benefits continue?
