Those seem incompatible to me.
(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

But that’s exactly what they just said isn’t UBI, with UBI you’d get to keep the money while working if you wanted to. “Universal” means everyone gets it, not just people who “claim to be uncomfortable working”.

Every proposal for UBI test projects I have seen, sets UBI as a failsafe cutoff, a guaranteed income, not a provided income. This interpretation of how it would work is ridiculously worse for the economy than the idea I thought I was arguing against.

Well those proposals are mis-using the term. The U is for Universal which means there are no conditions to receiving the money.
