(b)
(1) A child who is a refugee or Cuban/Haitian entrant and qualifies for special foster care services in accordance with this section 427.6(c)(5) of this Part is deemed to require such services for the first 12 months that the child receives foster care services. During such 12-month period, the social services district which has the care and custody of the child will receive State reimbursement in accordance with the provisions of section 427.6(c) of this Part.
(2) Thirty days prior to the end of such 12-month period, the appropriate social services district shall evaluate the status of such foster children to determine whether after such 12-month period expires the child will continue to require special foster care services.
(3) After the evaluation required by paragraph (2) of this subdivision is completed, additional evaluations shall be conducted by the district at the same time that the child's service plan is required to be reviewed pursuant to section 428.3 of this Title.
(4) After such evaluations, the social services district must determine whether the child should receive special foster care services. Such determinations must be based upon the standards contained in section 427.6(c) of this Part.
(5) Nothing in this subdivision precludes a child who is a refugee or Cuban/Haitian entrant, as defined in section 427.2(p)-(q) of this Part from receiving exceptional foster care services if such child meets the criteria for such services as set forth in section 427.6(d) of this Part.
(6) The amount of the foster care payments made to the social services district for the cost of care provided to foster children who are refugees or Cuban/Haitian entrants after the subsequent evaluations are conducted shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of section 427.6 of this Part.
