The idea with UBI is that it replaces other forms of government assistance. Since this is a test and obviously California doesn't want to end it's unemployment insurance in case the test goes badly, it's exempting those people using the other programs from this one.
Basically, no double dipping.
- throwaway55554 7y agoThat makes sense. I wonder why they don't migrate at least some of those people to UBI, though. I think that would be what you would want to test.
