The Exceptional Family Member (EFM) program was developed to
ensure military family members are able to receive needed services wherever they
are assigned. EFM enrollment is mandatory for active-duty sponsors who have
family members with chronic illness or incapacity, mental illness, or learning
disabilities. EFM identification helps detailers consider career, Navy and
special needs during the assignment process leading to a win-win outcome that
provides for the family's needs and promotes readiness within our naval forces.
This program is open to any authorized family member who meets the following
criteria: Physical, emotional, or other disability, and/or Long term
chronic illness, and/or Long term special educational needs Enrolled in DEERS
residing with sponsor.
