Oh, I'm sorry, guess I had it muddled. I haven't been through a review yet as our adoption hasn't gone through. The particulars are different in every state, but essentially I think they are looking for confirmation that some one of the qualifying special needs still exists. Most states have their own list of qualifying special needs (which can include things like being over the age of 2 or 5 or whatever).
It's confusing because Title IV-E is a federal program. I think the way it works is that each state gets a lump amount to divvy up. Federal code includes some basic guidelines about what states must do to qualify for the grant but within those states have some leeway. For example, states are "allowed" to use Title IV-E money to fund kinship care stipends or subsidized guardianships, but they don't have to.
