As for how the plan benefits the poor I think that their logic is that $300 or whatever it would be, makes up a larger percentage of income and would thus have more of a positive effect on the poorest individuals.
That being said I would say reinvesting all of the Dividend thing into programs that assist the poor or prevent someone from becoming poor in the first place (education funding?) would go a lot farther... But this debate has been beaten to death, revived and then kicked a few more times.
