My parents are coming to US first time on IR5 

what are the steps that a newcomer should do? 
How can they apply their health insurance (affordable options) and do they have to apply for social security card or will it come with the green card?

Health insurance will depend on the state they're going to. Not sure 'affordable' and US health insurance go together though, but presumably they've considered that as part of their moving planning? If either of them will be working they should get insurance as part of their employment. 

 

Their SS isn't sent with the green card. If they ticked the box on the DS-260 to apply for it as part of their application, it'll be mailed to them a couple of weeks after they enter the US. If not they'll need to go and apply for it.
