Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb, alongside Councilmembers Matt Frumin (Ward 3) and Brooke Pinto (Ward 2), today announced that beginning October 1, 2025, families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) will see an increase in child support passthrough payments from $150 to $200 per month. This change, enacted through the Child Support Reform Amendment Act of 2025, ensures more money collected from noncustodial parents goes directly into the hands of District families. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG), through its Child Support Services Division, works with parents and guardians of children who are seeking financial support from non-custodial parents to ensure timely and consistent child support payments.  
“This is a critical, long overdue step towards ensuring that District children receive every single dollar of child support legally available. At a time when too many DC residents are struggling to make ends meet, increasing child support pass-through payments will help families cover housing, food, transportation and healthcare costs,” said Attorney General Schwalb. “I’m grateful to Councilmembers Frumin and Pinto for their partnership, and their continuing commitment to supporting healthier, stronger families across the District.”
