Then I wonder why we have not obtained SS number for our children. We moved here in August 2019, our children have Swedish passports. Can it matter? How can they get SS no?
It depends on your immigration status. And your children don't get it automatically, you have to apply for them. Generally speaking, if you are a green card holder (permanent resident) and have your own SSN that is valid for employment, then your children are probably eligible for SSNs as well. If you are here on a temporary visa, your children may not be eligible.
I don't know all the rules, you may need to ask at the social security office or contact an immigration lawyer for advice.

@pk do you have something short and pithy that will help here? I can't find much that is directly helpful in a quick google search.
