Speaking for myself as a libertarian what I see is that is that in terms of tangible benefits the unemployed are getting shortchanged on their costly and extorted bennies packages that mainly aid bureaucrats.
If you are going to take my taxes for it then I want all citizens to get food stamps and have a federal tax on groceries and maybe restaurant meals paid by people not buying on food stamps.
If you are homeless and the mobile homes and condos are not selling anyhow then make them into temporary section 8 housing and get that inventory off the market.
The US government can buy used clothing that would otherwise be sold in the 3rd world and make it available cheap or free to those in need.
I'm already paying for legal services for the poor so why not streamline and broaden bankruptcy proceedings for those out of work?
Why am I paying high for services that deliver little or nothing to those who need those services? The administrative costs of all those services in cash means that the poor get stiffed, the taxpayers get stiffed and only the politicians profit. Why not deliver those services in kind so we can avoid as much of that mess as possible?
