Default SSN new or continued on 2nd H1-b?

We lived in NYC for 4 years on a H1-b and H4 visas which have now expired and have been back in the UK for 2 years.
We are moving back in a few months, again on H1-b and H4 visas. Will my husband be given a new social security number, or will they reuse his old one. If we have a choice, is there any benefit to reusing the old one? Is this the same for my ITIN?
Thanks

The SSN is his for life... they'll use the same number.

Yes. Both the SSN and ITIN are "unique identifiers".

Ok thanks, I thought it was for life only if you were permanent residents not temporary residents.
