is universal basic income a state or federal issue?

Answer 1

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a public policy concept that can be implemented at various levels of government, including the state, federal, or even local level. However, because of its potential large-scale impact on social welfare and economic inequality, discussions about implementing a national UBI program are typically focused on the federal level. Ultimately, decisions about implementing a UBI program would depend on the jurisdiction and level of government responsible for social welfare programs and income distribution policies.
