My wife applied for an H-4 EAD several months ago, and the application is still pending. If the pandemic slows processing times, will she be permitted to keep working after her EAD expires?

No, one cannot work based on a pending H-4 EAD renewal application. The USCIS has not changed this rule based on the COVID-19 outbreak. (23.Apr.2020)
