Can I continue working while H4 EAD extention is still pending?

Can I continue working with my H4 EAD extension receipt number while it is still pending with USCIS and my current H4 EAD expires next week. 

I heard some new rule that we can work up to 180 days even after expiry of our current EAD in case if we already filed for extension. Does this rule really apply to h4 EAD too?

Those rules do not apply to H4 EAD. You must stop working on last day of your H4 EAD and can resume work once renewed card is  in HAND. Not with an approval notice, not with an email confirmation, only when you have the card in hand and the card dates are valid.

No you can not. You have to stop working. 

180 days rule does not apply for H4 EAD.

You cannot work based on receipt for your C26 category.

Eligibility category codes for a 180-day automatic extension are A03, A05, A07, A08, A10, C08, C09, C10, C16, C20, C22, C24, C31 and A12 or C19.

Below is the official link that shows which categories are eligible for 180 day EAD extension.

If a person works without noticing above conditions, what he supposed to do?

Need to inform USCIS or IRS or any other...?
