Sponsors may view their EFMP status by accessing their family member information tab in the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS).

If you need assistance retrieving your EFMP category, please contact your local Medical Treatment Facility EFMP Coordinator or your assigned Case Liaison at the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC).

Yes, per MILPERSMAN 1300-700 EFMP does not preclude sponsors from:

• Sea Duty.
• Normal sea/ shore rotation.
• Unaccompanied assignments.
• Global support assignments.
• Standing watches.
• Performing normally assigned duties.
• Advancing to the next pay grade or rank.

No, per the OPNAVINST 1754.2F - Enrolled Service members must remain worldwide assignable and deployable. Enrolled service members may elect or be required to serve on unaccompanied overseas assignments, as necessary, to fulfill sea or shore obligations of rank or rate and the needs of the Navy, provided those assignments are approved at NPC, Career Management Department (PERS-4) flag level. The transferring commanding officer (CO) must review the decision with the service member to ensure that the separation will not create an undue hardship on the family and result in a request for an early return or humanitarian reassignment of the service member. NAVPERS 1070/613 administrative remarks must be completed and filed in the service member’s electronic service record.

The Exceptional Family Member Program governs all Active Duty Navy Service members, regardless of rank.

Dependents with medical, mental health and/or educational needs should enroll in the Exceptional Family Member Program. This includes spouses, children and dependent adults documented on your RED/DA (PG2) who:

• Require special medical services for a chronic condition. 
• Receive ongoing services from a medical specialist.
• Have significant behavioral health concerns.
• Receive early intervention or special education services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).

• When a family member's condition changes or upon completion of diagnostic evaluations.
• Every 3 years.
• Conditions that warrant temporary categorization as determined by the Central Screening Committee require updated enrollments to be submitted to NPC (PERS-454) by the EFMP coordinator after 6 to 12 months of enrollment.

• If an unmarried sponsor is stationed in CONUS or OCONUS and has dependent child/children, but does not have primary custody then they are not considered to be on geo-bach or unaccompanied orders. Therefore, the sponsor would not qualify for EFMP enrollment.
• If the single sponsor is the primary custodian of the dependent child/children, and the sponsor receives geo-bach or unaccompanied in CONUS or OCONUS orders and the dependent(s) resides with someone else while they are gone, they would qualify for EFMP enrollment.
• If the sponsor is married and executes a geo-bach or unaccompanied tour because the sponsor chooses to leave their family members behind while on a set of PCS orders, they would qualify for EFMP enrollment.
• If the sponsor continues to take geo-bach or unaccompanied orders, they can be disenrolled because their EFM dependent(s) are not traveling (PCS) with the sponsor.
• Ultimately, EFMP is a detailing tool to support the EFM dependent to enable them to transfer with the sponsor and get care.

If an EFM no longer requires ongoing healthcare, specialty care, early intervention, or special education. The service member will provide necessary medical and/or educational documentation to the EFMP Coordinator. The coordinator will then forward to the Central Screening Committee(CSC) for disposition. PERS-454 will receive the disposition and make the appropriate documentation.

An EFM is no longer a service member's dependent. A change in status may result from divorce, child custody arrangements, marriage, death, etc. The service member will forward an official letter to the local MTF EFM Coordinator or NPC (PERS-454) documenting the reason for disenrollment.

Yes, if your dependent is 21 (23 if enrolled in full time school) and will not PCS with the sponsor, they can be disenrolled from the program. Per MILPERSMAN 1070/270.

If your dependent is incapacitated they must be enrolled in the incapacitated program prior to age 21 to continue in the EFM program.

To disenroll a dependent who is an adult and is no longer residing with you, you can submit a naval letter on command letterhead to show change in dependency status as reflected on your RED/DA (PG2).

Medical/Mental Health/Educational disenrollment requires the sponsor to submit a new DD 2792/ DD 2792-1 reflecting the updated status be reviewed by the Central Screening Committee (CSC). If the CSC deems that the dependent is eligible for disenrollment, then their recommendation will route to PERS 454 for record update.

Administrative disenrollment (change in dependency status) can be submitted through your Command EFMP coordinator by submitting a memo on command letterhead directly to PERS 454 for review.

If a condition is identified in the Overseas Screening process, orders can be affected. For example, orders can be delayed awaiting EFM enrollment once a condition is known. If it is a new EFM, orders may have to be rescreened for availability of services for the EFM.

If the EFM is already enrolled, and the service member has not updated in the timeframes required, orders will be delayed at NPC until the update is completed.

Yes, with an approved Overseas Screening and review by the gaining MTF and DODEA for verification of available services will be required.

Your EFMP status may be out of date and PERS 454 is unable to verify current EFM support needs.

Medical availability is being confirmed for your EFM(s) current support needs.

PERS 454 needs to talk to either the detailer or the service member for additional considerations.

Consult with your detailer as each case will be reviewed individually.

Yes, EFMP dependents must complete overseas screening for both Hawaii and Alaska.
