The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) helps identify and document special medical and educational needs of military family members to factor into assignment decisions. Family members with certain medical or educational requirements must enroll in EFMP. The document provides information on EFMP enrollment, relocation clearance procedures for PCS moves requiring medical screening of family members, and forms needed for the process. Mandatory enrollment is required for family members with ongoing medical care needs, asthma, cancer, behavioral health diagnoses, special education services, or medical equipment requirements.

EFMP Program Information
The Exceptional Family Member Program helps identify and document special medical and/or
educational needs of active duty family members and factors those needs into the assignment
process. Family members who require special medical or educational services based on a
diagnosed physical, intellectual, or emotional handicap must be enrolled in this program.
Identified disabilities may range from mild to severe. Special needs may include special
medical, mental health, developmental or educations requirement, wheelchair accessibility,
adaptive equipment, or assistive technology devices and services.
EFMP enrollment does not harm one’s military career. The goal of the program is to consider a
family member’s special need during the assignment coordination process. Sponsors are still
deployable according to the needs of the Service.
Mandatory enrollment for family members with any of the following medical/educational
issues:
1. Family member requiring specialized medical care more than once annually.
2. Family member with current or past diagnosis of Asthma within the 5 years.

Family Member Relocation Clearance
Family member relocation clearance is a mandatory screening process that must be completed
before Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders are received for:
1. ALL family members traveling OCONUS with their sponsors
2. Family members with special medical or educational needs traveling CONUS with their
sponsor
The checklist and information below should help ensure the process goes smoothly. Please
keep in mind it does take time to collect the required documentation, schedule appointment with
medical providers and the sponsor should contact the FMRC coordinator ASAP. This process
should be initiated up to 6 months prior to your report no later than date. All forms are available
through the FMRC office or on www.e-publishing.af.mil or www.afspecialneeds.org (requires
CAC access).
If you have a family member with a diagnosis of Asthma, ADHD/ADD, depression, anxiety
disorder, bipolar, etc, or who is receiving care from a specialist (i.e. pulmonary, neurology,
cardiology, or mental health provider) a DD form 2792 MUST be completed by the medical
provider providing care. If your family member has never been seen in the Military Treatment
Facility, then a DD form 2792 will need to be completed by their assigned primary care provider.
If you need an appointment with a military provider please call 618-256-9355 to schedule.
Medical records maintained at the MTF will be reviewed for all family members needing
clearance. Medical records from civilian providers must also be available for review for all
family members needing clearance (sponsor, spouse, or majority age child will need to provide
records).
At the Relocation Screening appointment, all family members will meet with the FMRC
coordinator, medical provider, and Special Needs Coordinator to review documentation and
medical needs. If a family member requires special services from the gaining base then a
Facility Determination Inquire (FDI) package will be sent to the gaining base for review of

3. available medical/dental/educational services. The gaining base has 14 days to review the
package and submit recommendations for approval/disapproval on family member travel. Once
the FMRC coordinator receives travel recommendations back from gaining base the sponsor
will be notified.

Special Instructions Regarding Remote, Unaccompanied, and Follow-On Assignments:

are the same. Once screening is completed, documentation is forwarded to the FMRC
Coordinator inside the MTF where the sponsor is assigned.

to reporting date) to ensure a smooth and timely transition.
