Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) The Navy’s Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) serves military family members with special needs. Enrollment in the EFMP is mandatory for all family members identified with medical (physical, mental, or emotional) or special educational requirements of a chronic nature (six months or longer). The primary goal of the EFMP is to ensure Sailors are assigned to geographic areas where their EFM’s needs can be met. Sailors must maintain eligibility for worldwide assignment, which may require them to serve on unaccompanied tours. EFMP case liaisons provide information, referral and system navigation to special needs families, link families with available military, national and local community resources, provide non-medical casemanagement, develop and maintain Individual Service Plans (ISP), and partner with the Military Treatment Facility (MTF) Coordinators to provide information, education and program enrollment assistance.
