WHAT IS THE EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY MEMBER PROGRAM

The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a mandatory program per Marine Corps Order P1754.4A. The purpose of the program is to assist monitors at HQMC in assigning Marines to locations where the needs of their EFM can be met. The program also assists service members by providing support and case management before, during and after relocation required by a change of duty station.

WHO QUALIFIES FOR EFMP

An Exceptional Family Member (EFM) can be a spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child, foster child or dependent parent who meets the following criteria:

  • Possesses a physical, intellectual or emotional disability and requires special medical and/or educational services.
  • Enrolled in DEERS
  • Resides with the sponsor (exceptions include geographical bachelors and family members receiving inpatient care or living in an educational setting.)

HOW DO I ENROLL

• Ensure your family member is enrolled in DEERS. 
• Contact the EFMP office for assistance and information.
• Complete the DD Forms and return to the EFMP office for processing. Forms may be downloaded from the links below.

UPDATES AND DISENROLLMENT

It is the responsibility of the sponsor to update every two years or sooner if criteria for enrollment changes of if there is a change in family status. Failure to update does not disenroll you from the EFM Program. To disenroll the DD Form 2792 must be signed by EFM’s physician annotating that enrollment is no longer needed. For a change in family status such as divorce or death, please contact the EFMP office for guidance.



RESPITE CARE PROGRAM

If you are an EFMP enrolled  Marine or Sailor working aboard MCRD or on recruiting duty in the Western Recruiting Region, you may be eligible for the Respite Care program. Respite care is a service that provides short-term or temporary care of a family member with special needs so that the regular caregiver may have some time off. This program allows a family enrolled in EFMP to receive reimbursement for up to 40 hours a month of respite care including coverage for siblings of children enrolled in EFMP. The rate of reimbursement is based on the special needs of the EFM and number of children in the family. Respite care delivery options may include a care provider who the parent selects, child care centers, special needs childcare centers, visiting nurse services or camps. Respite cannot be used to cover work or school related child care expenses. Please call the EFMP office for more information.
