Get the passport stamped! You should have done that by now anyway, as you have to be able to produce some kind of evidence of your legal status at all times.
Actually, look at the sig -- the husband has the I-751 NOA1, which is evidence of legal presence. It's the EAD (I-765) NOA1 that he doesn't have (hence the restricted SS card). The I-751 NOA1 and an expired green card are not among the documents one can produce to show employment eligibility. The choices in our cases are either an unrestricted SS card or a passport with the I-551 stamp.
