Some federal agencies give their workers shutdown IOUs to show creditors.

“‘I have this letter that shows that I am a federal employee, and this is what’s going on,’” one fed employee said he told his mortgage lender. “Well, they had no interest in that.”

The question was about the second item on Republicans' chart of Democratic subsidies for illegal immigrants
Q: A lot of the free healthcare for illegal aliens you've been talking about is care provided in ERs, which are required by federal law to care for everybody. Should that law be changed?
