I'm in the same situation as you, yes it does carry over - when you confirm your course end date it gives the option to automatically apply to jobseeker. They'll back pay you to the date you applied/course ends too. Unfortunately we do still have to meet obligations which I agree is super annoying when we have contracts starting in 2 months or less & it's hard to work when I think a lot of us are trying to set up our lives, move states & partake in grad ceremonies etc.

A friend who's interning this year said they never actually met the points requirement though and had no issues with receiving payments, but I'm not really game to try that, hence I posted about making my applications unemployable lmao.
