One of the stated benefits of UBI is that it has the potential to replace other forms of welfare more efficiently. Instead of people getting separate benefits for food, housing, unemployment, etc, they get the one benefit: UBI. This removes the problem of "I don't work hard enough to be poor in America", where the people going through the worst situations have to spend the most time going through forms and bureaucracies. Instead, you just get UBI. In good times and in bad, so there's no weird income caps and disincentives to work. People don't have to deal with welfare cliffs (https://www.learnliberty.org/blog/the-welfare-cliff-and-why-many-low-income-workers-will-never-overcome-poverty/ https://www.learnliberty.org/blog/the-welfare-cliff-and-why-...) and/or multiple welfare off-ramps simultaneously anymore. Having UBI and still keeping means-tested welfare removes one of the best benefits of UBI. Most serious UBI proposals do what this one does: Either keep your current benefits or go on a UBI, whatever works best for you.
