U.S. Department of Defense enrollment program that works with othermilitary andcivilian agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinatedcommunity support,housing ,education al, medical, and personnel services worldwide to U.S. military families withspecial needs .Service members on
active duty enroll in the program when they have a family member with a physical, developmental, or emotional or mental disorder requiring specialized services so their needs can be considered in the military personnel assignmentprocess .Family members must be screened and enrolled, if eligible, when the service member is on assignment instructions to an
OCONUS (outside the continentalUnited States ) area for which command sponsorship/family member travel is authorized, and the service member elects to serve the accompanied tour. This screening consists ofmedical record s review for all family members, and developmental screening for allchildren 72 months (6 years) of age and younger.Service members are responsible for keeping their EFMP enrollment current as exceptional family member conditions change, or at least every three years, whichever comes first.
The
U.S. Coast Guard does not participate in the EFMP program since it is not a Department of Defense branch. Instead, USCG members are required to register in the Coast Guard Special Needs Program by contacting work-life staff at the nearest Integrated Support Command.Each service has its own specific program governed by the following references:
