I am on orders to PCS with a report date of October, 2019. I departed my prior PDS in mid-October of 2018 (so within FY19) and reported to my current PDS in Novemeber of 2018. The position they PCS'd me to fill was eliminated after a TDA review so branch nominated me for another assignment and issued orders. I read in the JTR that DLA is only payable once per FY. Since my report date is in FY20, will I be eligible to receive DLA for this upcoming PCS? If so, what does DFAS use as the "date of PCS"? If I depart in mid-September and report prior to October 1st, will that be considered an FY19 move?

Feel free to DM. Thanks!

Your DLA timeline does not start until you file for it, which is after you signed into your unit (which will be during October 2019 (which is FY2020). Not sure when exactly the next PCS will be, but if it isn't October of 2020 (calendar) then you will NOT get the DLA entitlement again.
