*The following must be completed prior to enrolling in the Respite program:*

1. Have your child’s medical provider fill out the EFMP Respite Child Care Verification Statement.
2. Email the completed form to AFFCCSystem.Admin-02@us.af.mil, where you will be enrolled in the Respite program and given a list of providers.
3. Interview and select a provider.
