Anyway, the question is not about anyone having a right, property or otherwise, to an entitlement but about whether the government not paying a legal financial obligation because it has no money would be called "default." If there is no money to pay, then the right to the benefit is irrelevant.

I would say that if there is no property, contractual or debt/creditor right to the money than not paying it isn't a default.
