(a) The department shall reimburse a social services district for the care of a child in a group emergency foster care program for a period not to exceed 90 days at any one time, unless:
(1) the child is awaiting placement in a facility operated or supervised by the Office of Mental Health or the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities; and
(2) the child's case record contains documentation that the child has been accepted for placement in the facility but cannot be placed until an opening becomes available.
(b) A local district shall continue to receive reimbursement for the care of a child who meets the requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section until the child is placed in the facility; provided, however, the extension of reimbursement shall not continue beyond an additional 90-day period.
(c) If a child is discharged from a group emergency foster care program but needs to reenter such program after he has been discharged, the social services district may receive reimbursement for such child for a total of 180 days during any 15-month period, with such 180-day period to include the period during which group emergency foster care was first provided.
