I thought they weren't allowed to work for a while now. How is this new?

  Lots of talk but not legislation.

  Initially they weren't. Then there was an obama era executive order that allowed work authorization for dependents of H1B, provided they have an approved green card petition. Mostly only Indians use it because they have the biggest backlog in getting green cards. The current administration plans to revoke it so its going through its procedures.

    Ah that’s the part I was missing. So people on H4 cannot work until they get their green cards in hand. Thanks for the explanation.
