I'm sure its saying living loan (could be grant in this context) or assistance and not "pay to stay alive".

  "Loon" is Dutch for wage. A loan would be "lening", even though "loon" and loan sound exactly the same.

    > not "pay to stay alive" Focus on this part. (Edit: I consider the choice of words either clumsy or insensitive)

      Because without an income people tend to not live for very long and that idea makes people uncomfortable? I had not considered that. "Wage to live on" is perhaps a more euphonic translation then.
