I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.
Thank you! In that case I’m moderately certain that the government needs to go into debt to cover it, and is prevented from gaining more debt during the shutdown.
I am not sure that’s literally true for SNAP benefits, but I think this is true ‘overall’; this is the reason for stopping most the things they stop.
Edit: I do want to emphasize that I don’t know for sure where the money in this case is.

what’s even more corrupt is that the president and congress etc. still get paid
while the workers get nada.
