For the child, no; for themselves, yes.
You should consider that if the child is not living with you you must provide that information on the application or renewal. You can be prosecuted for falsifying the information you provide. You can only get food stamps for a child in your legal custody if you can say the child lives with you.
Also, if custody was removed from the parents by a court, and granted to you, and you allow that child to live back with the parents, you may be held liable for any harm that comes to the child because of your failure to take your legal responsibilities seriously. In my state, grandparents with guardianship allowed their daughter to take back custody of her toddler after the child was removed by the state because of child abuse. The child was subsequently fatally injured by its father and the grandparents are also being prosecuted. You should notify the court that your "guardianship" should be terminated.

Can you still receive food stamps after your child turns 18?
The parent can continue to receive food stamps. If the child is still living in the parent's home, the two of them can continue to receive food stamps together as one household.

How do i receive child support from both parents?
Child support is not paid to the child. It would be payable to the person who currently has legal custody of the child or to the State if the State has custody.
Can someone with temporary custody of a child get child support for that child?
yes
Do you have to have custody to file for child support?
Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.

Can custody of a child be stated in a will?
If you live in the US... Children are not property and therefore cannot be 'willed'. You can state in your will who you would like to receive custody, but the court is not required to abide by it. For example, if Mom has custody of a child, she dies and her will states that she wants her sister to receive custody, but Dad wants custody...Dad gets custody, unless he can be proved unfit, because Dad has first legal right to custody (Mom's wishes don't change that).
Do you need custody to get support?
Yes! You need to either have custody or legal guardianship to receive child support, AND have the legal documentatio to prove it.

Can parents lose custody if both are on prescription narcotics and do not keep the children with them?
Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.
