I'd like to see research on the frequency of universal income payments, and the effects it has in the welfare of the recipient.

For example, is it best to pay $10/day, $70/week, $300/month or $3600/year?

For recipients who don't do financial planning and saving, $10/day might cause more spending on food etc., While $3600/year might lead to more 'investments' like buying a laptop or registering for a training course.

As somewhere to start there be some preexisting research on the effects of tax returns on poorer families that I would not know how to find.
