Imo it should just be called a "Direct Benefits Transfer" instead of "Universal Basic Income".

The "income" terminology gets confused as "salary" by those who aren't well versed with these kinds of programs.

What's wrong with the word "income" for "a lump sum of money that everybody gets every month"?
