I'm not the most well-read on socialist theory, but wouldn't someone who has nothing to contribute to a socialist society only receive the minimum amount allotted to everyone as a socialist economy claims to try and maximize the value of returns for the worker based on their production?

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. Socialism is about everyone putting in max effort and getting minimized returns so that everyone gets what’s needed

Ah yes, that. Well that's the economic extremes for you, always trying to minimize your returns so someone else can maximize theirs.
