As the husband/father, if he doesn't get the info from you, he can probably get it from another source. Most income tax returns have the socials. As an adult parent, he can request copies of their birth certificates. You can refuse (unless there is an order which says something different). You seem concerned that he may make an application for an impermissible purpose... however, the liability will be on him not you as long as you don't sign off on anything. So... if you give him the info... just make sure you don't give him consent to list himself as primary and don't sign any documents regarding the application.
