That's not what the articled alleged but yes, certainly it could be a reason. I can't recall was the extra income on top of the already existing one but certainly getting free extra money must feel better than without. The conclusion that the article made, that the simplification of the process and reduction of the extra bureaucracy makes you more content, doesn't seem highly implausible either. I certainly would enjoy it and I think it's more humane. If it would cost the government the same amount I think basic income would be better than the current system. But it's never that easy to estimate.
