Do I have to file a 1040 for my child? When is the income trigger?

I receive Social Security. I have three dependent children. They each receive a Social Security payment. Since it is their income, what is the income amount that triggers a 1040 needing to be filed? Or do I even have to file a 1040? What about State (Nebraska)?

If they only got Social Security or SSDI or ssi they don’t have to file a return and nobody reports it.
