Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the Full-
Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, approved March 15, 2025, Pub. L. No.

reprogram Fiscal Year 2026 Special Purpose Revenue (SPR) funds budget authority in the amount
of $541,974 within the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). Budget authority is needed to
properly align the agency’s budget with revised spending plans.
This action will reprogram budget authority from OAG’s Child Support Services division, Account
Groups 701100C (Continuing Full Time ), 701200C (Continuing Full Time – Others), 701400C
(Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel), and 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants) to the
Agency Management, and Child Support Services division s, Account Groups 713100C (Other
Services and Charges), and 713200C (Contractual Services – Other). Funds are available in OAG’s
budget based on the original appropriation but require reallocation to meet programmatic needs.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $541,974 of Special Purpose Revenue Funds Budget Authority within the
Office of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG).

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on OAG’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.

SUBJECT: Revised FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $541,974.29 of [TANF Special
Purpose Revenue]
This memo requests the reprogramming of $541,974.29 within the Child Support-TANF/AFDC
Collections fund under the Office of the Atto rney General (OAG). The reprogramming is
necessary to transfer $515,593.77 from pe rsonal services and $26,380.52 from nonpersonal
services (714100C) into Child Support-TANF/A FDC Collections Fund nonpersonal services
(713100C and 713200C).
This reprogramming does not alter the overa ll Child Support-TANF/AFDC Collections fund
allocation but allows OAG to realign existi ng resources to better support Child Support-
TANF/AFDC Collections required non-personnel services required activities.
Why are the funds needed?
This reprogramming supports planned expenditures within the Child Support-TANF/AFDC
Collections nonpersonal services budget by reallocating funds from both personal and
nonpersonal services. It enables OAG to support required contractual services for the program.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
Yes, through FY26 formulation the Mayor cut contractual services in TANF however the amount
that is being restored is for required services for the Child Support Program and the agency has
offset the NPS increase with a PS decrease so that there is zero growth.
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or
mark-up sheets?
No
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
A total of $541,974.29 will be reprogrammed within the Child Support-TANF/AFDC
Collections Fund (Fund 1060035) as outlined below:
From:
x Fiscal Services Section, Legal and Integrated Services Section, Office of the Division
Deputy – Child Support Services, and Shared Services Section
To:
x Fiscal Services Section, and Office of the Division Deputy – Child Support Services
Why are the funds available?
The funding is available because OAG eliminated personal service positions to fund the costs of
nonpersonal services contracts required to operate the child support program that were cut from
OAG’s budget. The Child Support-TANF/AFDC Collections funded portion of certain personnel
service positions were eliminated to supplement nonpersonal services within the Child Support-
TANF/AFDC Collections budget.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If this reprogramming is not approved, OAG will be unable to meet its Child Support-TANF
/AFDC Collections nonpersonal services funding needs for required contractual services that
support the federal program. These funds are required for the federal match. Without this
reallocation, OAG’s ability to meet its chil d support program mission will be severely
compromised.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Natalie Mayers, Agency Fiscal
Officer, Office of the Attorney General, Government Operations Cluster on (202) 727-5145 or
by email at Natalie.mayers@dc.gov.
