In short no. You dont want to change your FTB estimate to reflect only one month. In fact when you do move make sure you do another estimate so you dont end up with an FTB debt as he will be earning more for the year.

The Newstart payment is to assist you to look for work. You have to make an agreement to look for work. Its not there to cover things in the meantime.

Can you talk to the new boss, its seems VERY unfair that he only gets a small income like that, he is still working after all...
