they don't have to spend that life jumping through hoops, visiting particular offices at particular times to talk to people who don't want to be there, documenting medical histories, job searches, going through embarassing questioning, repeated monthly or more, all to potentially be denied the money they need for rent and what meagre food they can afford though some unexpected bureaucracy failure, imagined or real.

UBI being given to everyone (and therefore requiring little more than a confirmed identity) IS the feature.

As for whether its feasible and what it would do to society in terms of people's job motivation, I don't know. But the idea is to reduce the degrading experience of welfare as it currently exists, as well as reducing the surprisingly high expense of the government offices dedicated to checking and enforcing the byzantine laws surrounding the current system.
