Does minimum wage matter to those who don't work?

I think what they are trying to do (and I don't necessarily agree that it'll work), is bump the minimum wage to a level that is actually "profitable" for entry level workers. If you can sit on your arse and collect welfare and other entitlement programs, and come out to the equivalent of 20k income, why would you work a minimum wage job that pays 14k per year? Now, I don't really think it's going to work, but I think that's part of their "plan" for increasing minimum wage.
