You do not report food stamps or public assistance on a tax return. However, if you can claim your children as dependents on your own tax return you can get the child tax credit for 2021. If you did not get the 3rd stimulus check for yourself or for your dependent children then you can get the 3rd stimulus as a recovery rebate credit on a 2021 tax return.
