Is it permissible for two minor orphans, who have a monthly income from retirement (1151 for each) and a large preserved inheritance, to receive Zakat funds from social security, based on their monthly income being less than 3000?

Social Security funds are allocated to assist the poor. If your two sons possess substantial inherited wealth and have a monthly income that suffices them, then they are not considered poor and are not entitled to Social Security funds, regardless of whether it is from or not.
However, if the inherited wealth is frozen and cannot be disposed of, and their monthly income is insufficient for their needs, then they may take from Social Security, as they are in need.
