Will I receive social security (ss) money I paid in before I received my EAD?

What do I have to do to ensure I've not lost 10 years of social security money?

I worked illegally for 10 years. Now I married a US citizen. I just got my EAD. On my next project I will inform them I'm working via the EAD. Soon I will get a greencard.

Additionally, I have these questions:
If I only stay as a permanent resident what happens to the ss money?
If I do switch to be a US citizen, what happens to the ss money?
When do I switch the ssn card to say "not valid for employment" to a regular ssn?
