UBI does not necessarily increase the total income of the lowest quarter of the economy. What programs are removed, how much more or less they work, etc are all somewhat open questions.
Depending on implementation universal healthcare might lower the US governments spending on Healthcare. In that context UBI is about implementation not necessarily total wealth transfer. Presumably eliminating subsidized housing for example would result in more efficient resource allocation.
If UBI is set at X, then a social security payment larger than X becomes suspect etc.
