Exceptional Family Member Program Family Support – (EFMP-FS)
EFMP enrollment is mandatory for all active duty military branches, to include active duty Airmen, and require the identification of all family members requiring long term general medical, special education, Early Intervention (EI) and/or Related Services (RS), or modified housing. Air Force Reserve and Guard members are not required to enroll in the EFMP. However, they may request to be screened and enrolled at any time, regardless of the type of orders they are on, which may qualify them for additional resources. All Total Force members are eligible to receive A&FRC EFMP-FS support and services. This includes all DoD identification cardholders (e.g., other military service branches, active duty members not yet officially enrolled, civilians, retirees).
