[Avengers] Are the Avengers or Agents of Shield paid for their work or do they simply have all their expenses from food/board taken care of? Are they eligible for benefits, what about their families?

Agents of SHIELD are either federal employees or employees of the UN, depending on the continuity, so they are paid and receive benefits fitting of their profession.

Avengers are either employed by SHIELD (like in the early MCU) or are part of an independent foundation (like in the Comics/ late MCU). The Avengers do get food and board, but mostly so they can go into action faster like you would see with Firefighters but more luxurious.
