11385.  (a) On and after the date that the director executes a declaration pursuant to Section 11217, the State Department of Social Services shall exercise its option under Section 671(a)(28) of Title 42 of the United States Code to enter into kinship guardianship assistance agreements to provide federally funded kinship guardianship assistance payments on behalf of children to grandparents and other relatives who have assumed legal guardianship of the children for whom they have cared as approved relative caregivers and for whom they have committed to care on a permanent basis, as provided in Section 673(d) of Title 42 of the United States Code.(b) A kinship guardianship assistance payment made under this article on behalf of a child shall not exceed the rate for children placed in a licensed or approved home pursuant to Section 11461.(c) It is the intent of the Legislature to ensure that relative guardians of children in long-term, stable placements who previously were receiving kinship guardianship assistance payments on behalf of those children under Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 11360) shall instead receive assistance under this article to the extent that those children are otherwise eligible under Subtitle IV-E (commencing with Section 470 of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.

Therefore, the department shall negotiate with the United States Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of those counties that are currently participating in the demonstration project to ensure that those counties receive reimbursement for these new programs outside of the provisions of those counties’ waiver under Subtitle IV-E (commencing with Section 470 of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
