Can a person in H-4 status be allowed to work in the United States?

No. H-4 is a non-working status. In order to be legally authorized to work in the U.S., one who is in H-4 status must have an employer file an H1B petition or petition for another working status (other working category). The petition must request a change of status specifically.
