Hi the mrypc,

Generally, there is no need for someone who is not citizen of the USA to have a Social Security Number. You will only really need your children to a SSN if you plan on moving back to the USA - as this will entitle them to certain social benefits that US citizens are entitled to. 

If you do move back to the USA, there is a possibility that your children can get Social Security numbers.even though they are not US citizens. 

It really will depend on the merits of each application if you are granted the SSN. Regardless, there are still benefits that non-citizens are able to claim without SSN.

For more information I suggest taking a look at the website of the US Social Security Administration

Hope this helps.
