Unemployment Benefit 40
It was the name of the form you had to fill in every week to claim your benefits.
It was being at the dole office that gave the band their name...

UB-40 stands for "Unemployment Benefits" form #40, a reference somewhat well-known in the UK but not known in the states. The boys came up with the name for the band while standing in line at the unemployment office. From a Rolling Stone interview.
