reduces the administrative overhead of providing assistance.
Only if UBI replaces all other programs, and i'm guessing it won't be enough for people to afford a Medicaid replacement.
Typically you only qualify for unemployement, disability, etc. when you're been let go, not when you're quiting voluntarily (and it usually only takes a week to get).
Even then, it's certain percentage of your current income, so as to not disrupt your lifestyle. I doubt many people will voluntarily quit to be on a much lower UBI just so they can look for a new job. But then again maybe there are studies on this...?
