GDP is the wrong thing to peg UBI to. It's a pretty meaningless measure of economic activity.

If you support UBI, why wouldn't you support reducing the age requirement on social security to 18+? Social security already exists, we don't need to re-invent the wheel. Obviously we'd need to change the eligibility requirements so that you didn't need to pay in. Now we just need a story about where the money will come from to finance it for the long-haul.
