Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I did the exact same thing with my two boys. If they lived with you half the year or more, and you paid 50% or more in support, then you can claim them as dependants for the earned income credit and additional child tax credit. Only one parent can claim them for those credits, and the food stamps shouldn't be effected. My kids mother has food stamps too and they weren't effected.
