Of course, you can get SSN even if you aren't using the TPS EAD. I know there is a rumor that people who are in H-4 and start working on a TPS EAD, If granted, then they will lose H-4 status after the TPS expiration date; Which I think is TOTALLY untrue! Yes, If one applied for TPS and didn't ask for TPS EAD, but working in the meantime, then for sure s/he violates the H-4. As long as the the primary H1B is maintaining his/her status, during TPS period, H-4 status folks come to the same H-4 status after the TPS expiration.
People might say how about F1 and H1B then? Why they have to go to school or job? Well, for F1, in order to make their I-20 current, they have to take classes, if not their SEIVIS record will get terminated. For H1B, In order to maintain your H1B status, you must maintain your employment, as indicated on your H1B petition.
Hope this help!
