In addition, every rule to catch the "undeserving" will catch some people who really do need the help and who you were trying to help in the first place.

Possibly a daft idea, but what if a company paid by the hour worked (or some other measure of work produced), but had a minimum that was always paid even if you didn't work.

Rules:

1. Nobody gets fired for not working.

2. You can get fired if you attack / something else normally fireable not related to your work itself.

3. No other jobs on the side? Less sure about that one. Could be interesting to support people trying something new but with the ability to do work on the side for you or come back. Paradoxically, I think that knowing you can leave but come back reduces the chance you'll leave forever. Quite a few careers allow sabbaticals of a year for this reason.

Sort of similar to:

1. Everyone gets BI

2. You don't get it if you're in prison

3. You can't go and live in another country and still receive it
