Yes; briefly, between graduation and getting a job. This was a "bare minimum to survive and remain healthy" kind of dole rather than the more generous allowance for people who have been employed and then lost their jobs. Those were a few rather boring months, with nothing useful to do beyond applying for jobs left and right, and few friends around (as most of them had graduated as well, and mostly left town as they came from elsewhere). Did get to read a lot, at least. (As for just going out and getting a part-time job or something, that's easier said than done in a town where >20% of the population are college students.)
I didn't feel the least bit bad about it, knowing that I'd get a proper job sooner or later and wind up as a taxpayer.
