It's possible to live with that amount (because schools and health care are basically free), but it wouldn't be nice of course.
Note that this doesn't really "cost" anything as the people in the program are already receiving generous unemployment benefits,
" The amount will be deducted from any benefits they already receive."
So the difference mainly is that you don't have to ask for this money or report it if you start to earn money.
I wonder how your other benefits are affected though (child support, living expenses like rent and utilities etc.) if you indeed get a job.
The bureaucracy is a nightmare here with unemployment benefits, so hopefully something good will come out of this project.
