I think you have asked this before, but there are all sorts of benefits some of which may be given to a person with temporary legal custody. What kind are you referring to? Food stamps?

Temp insurance helps assist you in pay and in health care. It helps you if you do not have a job or if you are only temporarily working at a place and not recieving benefits.
