Linux implementation of Microsoft .net and Silverlight respectively. Silverlight was supposed to be Microsoft's answer to flash which never really took off except in some high corporate and government situations where some PHB was tricked into it by a Microsoft salesman.
Both mono (and as an extension moonlight) are spearheaded by Novel with "support" from Microsoft, which means it will almost work but not quite.
To the GP, I would try rebuilding moonlight with the latest version and see if it helps, and if it doesn't then you may be stuck with either dual-booting or running a VM with windoze in order to access that government website. You may also want to look into laws regarding equal access to government resources in your area.
