Everything I’ve see. Says they’d replace welfare with this, that’s how they’d pay for it. No way republicans will ever agree to keeping both.

My explanation above was for everyone, disabled or non-disabled, who can improve their income and eventually get off welfare.
For disabled people who can’t change their income you can keep your current disability coverage, plus get UBI on top of that. You get both.
Here’s what he says.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is based on earned work credits. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and $1,000 a month. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the universal basic income, those who are legally disabled would have a choice between collecting SSDI and the $1,000, or collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous.
Even some people who receive more than $1,000 a month in SSI would choose to take the Freedom Dividend because it has no preconditions. Basic income removes these requirements and guarantees an income, regardless of other factors.

UBI all the way. Getting a bunch of people to do pointless jobs is a waste of our resources. It's already been tried in China and a lot of Socialist/Communist countries.
