This is 2 separate concepts to me.

Some people are referring to a larger safety net to allow motivated people to get back onto their feet. Others are talking about an endless basic income. The former I see no issue with. The later is just disguised wealth redistribution, but redistributed without any controls. That's bound to fail.
