That's a lot of the advantage of UBI in my opinion - is that it's much easier to access than the complicated welfare systems we have now, which require meeting up and consulting with lots of volunteer specialists to be sure you're doing it the right way.

I agree that getting benefits to people without an ID is a problem, but it seems very tangential to the UBI vs Status Quo debate.

What policy would you prefer?
