John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
District of Columbia Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, approved December 29, 2022 (P.L.
117-328), the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to
reprogram Fiscal Year 2023 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $3,293,258 within the
Department of Human Services (DHS). The funds are needed to enhance the Service Center
capacity and capabilities and to provide IT specialists and expanded third-party resources to enable
timely benefit determination.
This action will reprogram budget authority from DHS’ Economic Security Administration
division, Account 714100C (Government Subsidies and Transfers), to the Agency Management
and Economic Security Administration divisions, Accounts 713100C (Other Services and
Charges) and 713200C (Contractual Services – Other). Funds are available in DHS’ budget based
on the original appropriation but require reallocation to meet revised spending plans.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2023 Reprogramming Request for $3,293,258 of Local Funds Budget Authority within the Department of Human
Services
Page 2
The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DHS’ budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer

DATE: March 3, 2023
SUBJECT: FY 2023 Request to Reprogram $3.293.258.36 in local funds with the
Economic Security Administration program
The Department of Human Services is requesting a budget reprogramming of $3,293,258.36 in
Local funds to continue addressing PHE transitions including massive influx of workload.
Why are the funds needed?
These funds are needed for the agency to continue to address the major PHE transitions,
including massive influx in workload as well as managing significant modifications to service
delivery. Resources are urgently needed to enhance Service Center capacity and capabilities. IT
specialists are necessary to support system changes and expanded third-party resources are
needed to enable timely benefit determination.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No, this reprogramming is not to restore a budget cut that was authorized by the Mayor and/or
Council.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See the attached attributes sheet for details.
64 New York Avenue, N.E., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20002 (202) 671-4200 Fax (202) 671-4326
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available due to a change in planned program spending.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If reprogramming is approved for subsequent fiscal years, instead of FY23, the delay will
severely impact ESA’s ability to meet its mission and effectively provide critical services needed
by the residents of DC that seek the agency’s assistance. Specifically, intake and processing
capacity will be completely overwhelmed; legal, audit, and financial penalties will increase in
severity; and the agency will experience a simultaneous crises of public confidence and oversight
scrutiny.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
Without the ability to augment Service Center staffing and processing capacity, the agency will
be unable to timely process benefits due to the increased workload from the PHE transition,
delaying timely access to public benefits for District residents and exposing the District to
liability.
Should you have any questions, please contact Hayden Bernard at 202-671-4240 or at
hayden.bernard@dc.gov.
