If the money wasn't going anywhere (and I have no idea how something like this works at the governmental level, so bear with me) might as well put them to use (I was gonna say good use, but we both know the government doesn't really know how to put money to "good" use).
Let me rephrase: if the funds weren't expected to have any expenditures drawn on them, then how would cutting them save money, which is the goal of budget cuts?
I'm saying their explanation about the accounts being expired doesn't make much sense.
