Are individuals with respect to whom federal guardianship payments under section 473(d) of title IV-E

No. Federal guardianship assistance payments provided under section 473(d) of title IV-E of the Act are not considered federal foster care maintenance payments. Because the title IV-E agency no longer has placement and care responsibility for youth receiving such payments, these youth are not considered to be in foster care and therefore would not be eligible for coverage under the former foster care group.
