In UK when you're broke and on benefits you have a form to fill out called Form 40.
The band's name UB 40 comes from when they had to fill out those forms because they were broke and unemployed. The UB40 stands for "Unemployment Benefits, form 40".
Before they got their break as musicians they were completely broke. So it's a cool rags to riches success story behind them.
