Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)

The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a mandatory enrollment program that works with other military and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinated community support, housing, educational, medical, and personnel services to families with special needs. Soldiers on active duty enroll in the program when they have a family member with a physical, emotional, developmental, or intellectual disorder requiring specialized services, so their needs can be considered in the military personnel assignment process.
 
Family members must be screened and enrolled, if eligible, when the soldier is on assignment instructions to an OCONUS area for which command sponsorship/family member travel is authorized, and the soldier elects to serve the accompanied tour. This screening consists of medical records review for all family members and developmental screening for all children 5 years of age and younger.

The EFMP office is closed on Thursday afternoons from noon - 4:30 pm.

There is no face-to-face or telephone inquiry service during this time, but customers with previously scheduled appointments will be seen. Please note that in order to provide the most accurate and individualized processing, all EFMP encounters (OCONUS screens, enrollments, disenrollments, etc.) are by appointment only.

If you have questions, please email the local EFMP staff.
