In order to get money for foster care, you'd have to go through the classes your state offers for that program. It is actually the legal thing to do anyway. If you have kids that aren't yours, you need to get custody, temporary custody, or have them placed in the state custody and become a foster parent. It's not really "legal" for you to keep them otherwise. If you want them to be foster children, there are many oppurtunities. Did you know that any child ever in foster care (even for just a few weeks) can get college grants from the gov't?
The rates you get for children in foster care vary according to a few things: state, ages, disabilities, level of care (determined by DFS), etc. You also get WIC for any foster kids from the state. Also, state health care will be provided.

Are they foster kids? If you have custody and they do not have a guardian ad litem, then you do not get foster benefits. Depending on where you live you may be elibigle for different benefits based on your income. You should call the Department of Human Services in your city.

If DHS placed these children with you there would be a check as well. It sounds that you have an informal arrangement with someone to care for their children.
Do all of you a favor and contact DHS for the appropriate training and support for your family.

I think you can get help with food, and health care, but I think the rest is up to you, there may be monies available from the county you live in,
