The title is misleading, given that it's not being directed towards the delivery of any new aid, but rather paying for aid that's already been delivered.
This exactly. This is for payment for work already done and not billed, between the last payment (Dec or Jan) and the January Stop Work Order.
This has no bearing on if any programs will continue, or new programs.
In line with this (annoyingly) a ton of Doges supposed savings were exactly this same type of money. They claimed savings by cancelling payments for things already provided or delivered.

Contract for 5 years, $10m at $2m a year, paid quarterly.
Year 4.5, $9 million already paid out, some years ago.
Cancel contract.
wE sAvEd $10 mIlLiOn!

Two billion dollars
