Why work when the Gov gives you more money to stay home....

That sort of thing happens for sure.
A single person with no income gets $200 a month in food stamps. If they got a job that earned them a certain $ amount per month, they lose some of the foodstamp benefit. So basically theres a margin there you have to overcome before it becomes "worth" it in dollars.
