That seems to me like the devil is in the details: what does "without the ability to work" mean? So if you lose your job and can't find a new one, you're just gonna die because you don't qualify?

That is the opposite of what they are saying, "without the ability to work" meaning they provide you food if you can't work, if you lose your job you won't starve unlike what happens in many capitalist countries.

Well, it's understandable how I could not understand it though, isn't it? They could have also said "people without work" instead of "without the ability to work", no? Then it would have been clear that someone that loses their job, but still has the ability to work, is included. The way they phrased it very much sounded like you're fucked if you have the ability to work, but just don't have a job right now for some other reason.

If that was the only "without" then yeah but just before that they say "without livelihood source" which means a job or income of some type.

It literally means subsidies for disabled and unemployed people, you doughnut!

That's why I phrased everything I said as a question, because I wanted to make sure that I didn't misunderstand them, you bagel!
