Your family members will be given H4B (has no work permit) visa whit the expiration date as on your H1B visa. I believe that your dependants are not in title to SSN, which is required for many purposes, so make sure to obtain TIN (Tax identification numbers) from IRS. For things like drivers license etc. you might get note from SSN office stating that the person is not in title to SSN.

SSN is social security number! Those who don't have one need to get a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
