.:Purpose of EFMP:.

The primary purpose of the Marine Corps EFMP is to asses, document and code the special medical and educational needs of eligible Marine Corps family members.  By identifying families with special needs and maximizing the provision of quality services needed, the quality of life provided to the Marine Corps family is enhanced while meeting the mission of the Marine Corps.
 

.:What is the EFMP?.:.

Enrollment in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is mandatory for any Marine with a qualified family member. The aim of the program is to assist assignment monitors at Headquarters Marine Corps in assigning Marines to an area where their exceptional family member's special needs can be met.

It can take a family from 6 to 9 months to identify and access medical, special education, and other services in a new state.  The EFMP Office can provide you with applicable information on the local and state levels.  They can also help families coping with a new diagnosis understand, and learn the local, State and Federal programs and organizations that assist and support families with special needs.  

Assistance is available to find resources and services that will meet the needs of the exceptional family member. A resource center with pamphlets, books and CD-ROMs on various disabilities and topics of interest is located in the Exceptional Family Member Program office.

The Exceptional Family Member Program acts as liaison with community, medical and educational services and provides advocacy support as needed.

Educational and awareness presentations are provided on various topics of interest to families with an Exceptional Family Member.

Training and information are provided to commands concerning the Exceptional Family Member Program, needs of Marines with an exceptional family member, and other educational topics as needed.

The Exceptional Family Member Program office develops and continually updates information as your family status changes.
