Currently, no country has introduced a universal basic income that can cover essential needs, but some projects are going on, such as the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) which provides an annual dividend of $1600 per person without means test or work requirement. According to these projects and the current situation, here are several possible requirements:

- Start gradually. The implementation of UBI can start from groups of people that are more vulnerable and unlikely to have a job. For example, a universal income for children under 18 and seniors.
- Control the cost. A UBI would cost significantly more compared to a means-tested minimum income guarantee of the same level, which means the system needs to offset the increased cost to most taxpayers with the basic income they receive.
- Offer more chances. A reason why PFD doesn't incentivize too much "laziness" in Alaska is that they get to use the dividend for self-investment. To make UBI more effective, society needs to offer people chances to spend it on more valuable activities.
- In response to impacts. A UBI can begin as an emergency response to impacts instead of a normalized one. For example, the rising discussion on UBI and similar proposals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
