The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is designed to support active duty members by addressing the special needs of their family members throughout the assignment process.
Special needs include medical, dental, mental health, developmental, or educational requirements, as well as needs related to wheelchair accessibility, adaptive equipment, or assistive technology devices.
The primary goal of EFMP is to ensure that family members’ special needs can be met at new duty locations. Enrollment information allows assignment managers to proactively consider these requirements and match families with installations that have appropriate resources available. Successful implementation relies on accurate, up-to-date enrollment information and close coordination among personnel, medical, and educational communities.
EFMP enrollment is mandatory and must be completed immediately upon identification of a family member’s special needs. Command points of contact and Military Treatment Facility EFMP Special Needs Coordinators are available to assist active duty members and their families throughout the enrollment process.
A common misconception is that EFMP enrollment limits assignments, career advancement, or prevents family members from accompanying sponsors on overseas tours; however, this is not supported by fact. Active duty members with dependents enrolled in EFMP receive equal consideration for accompanied assignments and promotions.
Enrollment requires submission of DD Form 2792 (9-03), Exceptional Family Member Medical Summary, and DD Form 2792-1 (9-03), Exceptional Family Member Special Education/Early Intervention Summary.
Please note that the enrollment process can take time; therefore, early initiation is strongly encouraged.
For questions or assistance, contact the EFMP office at (830) 298-6571 / 6389.
