When a child qualified for federal financial participation under the AFDC-FC program is residing with a relative caretaker and the relative caretaker makes application to adopt the child, the relative caretaker shall, notwithstanding state law or regulations, continue to be eligible for foster care payments for the period after the child's parents' rights have been terminated, either by relinquishment or by an action of the juvenile court, and until the adoption of the child is finalized. This payment shall be terminated upon either finalization of the adoption or denial of the adoption application.
