I was working when Pat Robertson was running


Do candidates get SS protection? Did they back then? A cursory Google search says only within 120 days of the general election. Did Pat Robertson have SS protection? Maybe it was just his personal security.

It wasn't personal security. Since the RFK assassination, the Service has been charged with protecting candidates. Ruben Askew, Jesse Jackson, all of them. Also - as with candidate Obama, the sitting President can order protection.
