Non custodial parents do not lose any rights when they are incarcerated and pay no support. Since they are incarcerated they usually cannot see their children because they are locked up but they did not lose the right to have visitation once they are released.
If both parents are incarcerated, the state's department of children's welfare will take the children into it's custody. If possible, the children may be placed with a relative before being placed in foster care.
(in the US) No, to be incarcerated an any kind of correctional facility in the US requires a court adjudication or finding.

The USA Social Security Administration states that children who receive benefits through an incarcerated parent: "Although you cannot receive monthly Social Security benefits while you are confined, benefits to your spouse or children will continue as long as they remain eligible."
That's up to a judge, but why would it matter?

There are parents, foster parents and guardians who do not want the children exposed to the atmosphere of a prison, so they are unwilling to take the children to visit and don't encourage the children to keep up contact. They may believe it is better for the child to break ties and move forward.Often the parent is incarcerated many miles from where their children live. With siblings possibly split up among multiple foster homes and older relatives. It is difficult for the caregivers to arrange visits with the parent.A child who is three or younger is going to lose most of their memories of the incarcerated parent fairly quickly, as they bond with their caregivers. This would be especially true for young children in foster care who are away from all their relatives and siblings. Children who are nine and older may feel a lot of anger towards the parent. In the case of drug use/crimes, there was likely abuse and neglect in the home before the parent was arrested. There can be anger at the parent for committing the crime, anger for being incarcerated and not at home. Anger can cause the child to withdraw from the parent and refuse to see them or even correspond.
