It depends. I have seen applications which ask if there has been a felony conviction in "X" number of years, and I have seen applications which ask if you have EVER been convicted of a felony or crime. So each application would be a case-by-case basis. If your conviction was ten years ago and the application asks about the last seven, I would say no. Similarly, some applications ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime, not just a felony. So a misdemeanor would also have to be disclosed. Most states allow you to set aside or expunge your record. Generally you can not have been convicted of a violent crime or sexual crime to be eligible. Once you apply for and are approved by the courts for this process you no longer need to answer "yes" to the criminal conviction question, regardless how long it has been. Your record will still show up on fingerprint-based background checks, but more commercial checks which just ask for your SSN and DOB won't find it.
