Yes, but of a nature that would supplement other income sources (be they welfare or personal income) and would not replace them entirely, whilst a universal income should also not be a part of government bodies' assessment processes / criteria in setting welfare spending, welfare payment amounts, the minimum rate, or the rate of inflation. It should not be assessable income for tax purposes. By following these practices a universal basic income will not only improve standards of living but become a driver of economic production and innovation.
