The resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser requests the reprogramming of $541,974.29 within the Fiscal Year 2026 budget of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) specifically for the Child Support-TANF/AFDC Collections fund. This reprogramming aims to transfer funds from personal and non-personal services to non-personnel services to better align the agency's budget with its revised spending plans. The funds will be allocated to support necessary contractual services for the Child Support program, which are essential for meeting federal requirements and ensuring the program's operational effectiveness.

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 reallocation of funds is necessary to address the funding needs for required non-personnel services, as previous budget cuts had affected contractual services. The resolution emphasizes that without this reprogramming, the OAG would struggle to fulfill its mission related to child support services, potentially compromising the program's effectiveness and its ability to secure federal matching funds.
