The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a Department of Defense program designed to identify and document the special medical and/or educational needs of a soldier’s family members and ensure that those needs are considered during the assignment process. Enrollment in the EFMP is mandatory for all active duty military sponsors who have family members with special medical and/or educational needs. Enrollment should be completed at the time of initial diagnosis of medical problems and/or awareness of educational concerns. The program applies to adults as well as children up to 21 years of age.
EFMP screening is required for all sponsors requesting command sponsorship, consecutive overseas tours, AIP or an addition to orders. |
