Till when is your last I-94 valid? Your family can enter US as logn as they have a valid H4 in their passport and they carry your latest petition as well as employment verification letter. Once in US they can extend their I-94 till your I-94 date.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

As per USCIS:

"Your employer should file a Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, before the date your Form I-94 expires.If your employer files a Form I-129 to extend
your stay, and your spouse or unmarried children under age 21 also want to extend their stay, they need to file a Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. They can all be included on one I-539. It is best to file the I-129 and I-539 together so that they may be adjudicated about the same time. Remember, though, that they are separate applications. Therefore, you and your family members (and your employer) must follow the instructions and file all the supporting documents with each application, even when filing the forms together."
