(g) If the child is a qualified non-citizen who is placed with a qualified non-citizen or United States citizen, the date the child entered the United States is irrelevant, and the five-year restriction on federal public benefits does not apply; or

(h) If the child is a qualified non-citizen who entered the United States on or after August 22, 1996, and is placed with an unqualified qualified non-citizen, the child would be subject to the five-year residency requirement for federal public benefits at section 403(a) of PRWORA unless the child is in one of the excepted groups identified at section 403(b).
