Mayor Muriel Bowser has submitted a request to the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $541,974.29 within the Fiscal Year 2026 budget of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). This reprogramming involves reallocating funds from personal and non-personal services to enhance the non-personnel services budget specifically for the Child Support-TANF/AFDC Collections program. The request is justified by the need to support required contractual services that are essential for the operation of the child support program, which has faced budget cuts in previous fiscal planning.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the Mayor's request and indicated that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the OAG's budget or the District's financial plan. The funds will be transferred from various accounts within the Child Support Services division to ensure that the necessary resources are available for the program's operational needs. The reallocation is crucial for maintaining compliance with federal requirements and ensuring the effective functioning of the child support program, as failure to approve this request could severely compromise the OAG's ability to fulfill its mission.
