You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

A matehad been signing on for so long, the DHSS offered him a job and told him they would stop his benefits if he didn't take it, so he had to accept.
Not only did this eat into his valuable glue sniffing time, most of the other Hackney squatters wouldn't talk to him again.

Reminds me of the episode of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Emwhen Frank Spencer (no, not that one) is so useless at all jobs assigned to him, that the employment exchange takes him on as staff.
Other than that - it seems like a good idea. If someone genuinely wants a job then they'll be happy with anything they can get. If someone's a professional scrounger, then they will finally be forced to work.
