The enrollment process for EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program) involves 5 steps: 1) Special needs are identified through healthcare, self-identification, or suitability screening and the service member is referred to an MTF EFMP Coordinator. 2) The Coordinator completes enrollment forms and forwards them to a regional Central Screening Committee. 3) The Committee reviews the forms, recommends a category code, and sends them to Navy EFMP. 4) Navy EFMP confirms the category code and enters the data into a database. 5) Detailers use the enrollment data to assign personnel to locations that can address their family members' special needs.

The Enrollment Process
First… Special needs are identified. This could happen in a variety of different ways:
 Identified during routine healthcare (MTF or TRICARE Health Provider)
 Self-identified (Service or Family Member)
 Identified during Suitability Screening (Suitability Screening Coordinator)
Step 1: Refer the service and family member to the MTF EFMP Coordinator who assists with
completing DD Form 2792, or DD Form 2792-1
Step 2: The MTF EFMP Coordinator forwards completed enrollment forms to the appropriate
regional Central Screening Committee (CSC), which includes NMC Portsmouth, NMC San Diego and
USNH Yokosuka.
Step 3: The CSC reviews the enrollment forms, recommends a category code, and forwards the
forms to the Navy EFMP (PERS-451) in Millington, TN
Step 4: PERS-45 confirms the category code and enters the enrollment data into an EFMP
database.
Step 5: Personnel assignment managers (detailers) use the EFMP enrollment data to pinpoint
assignments to locations with appropriate resources that can address the special needs.
