It doesn't help that welfare does actually work this way.

I don't know the actual figures but my understanding is government assistance tends to work along the lines of "if you make less than $300, then the government gives you $100" so getting paid $350 is actually worse than being paid $290 for example, since going over the threshold cuts off the welfare completely.
