I thought Jobseeker was an emergency fund to assist with seeking jobs.

You've fallen for the rename. It didn't used to be called "jobseeker". It covers people who can't work too.

There are separate things for that. You're looking for things like invalidity payments, etc. It's not all done under one thing anymore since that was very inappropriate. Jobseeker is the one for ability to work and seeking it, but currently don't have it.
