1 What is EFMP? EFMP is the Exceptional Family Member (EFM) Program (EFMP) that
supports Military Families with Special Needs. EFMP is a multidisciplinary assignment tool that interfaces with other military
and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinated medical, educational, community and personnel support to military families with special needs. EFMP documents long-term medical needs
(including physical and mental health) and special education needs of Exceptional Family Members as mandated by OPNAVINST 1754.2C.
Enrollment in the EFMP ensures consideration of the needs of family members in the detailing process.
The EFMP module is deployed within the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment Systems (NFAAS) to support the basic EFMP
enrollment processing workflow, from initial request for enrollment by candidate EFM sponsors through EMF Program Management Office (PMO) (PERS-451) approval.
1.1 EFMP Terms
APPROVED – A final decision by PMO PERS 451 approving the EFMP enrollment request.
DISENROLLED - EFM family members who no longer require specialized medical or educational services are considered to be
disenrolled from the EFMP.
ENROLLED– A family member, who is enrolled in Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), residing with or in
the custody of the Service Member (SM), and has been approved for enrollment in the EFMP, is considered enrolled in the EFMP.
ENROLLMENT - The process of evaluating and facilitating the information of members of military families who have special needs.
EXPIRED - When the allotted time for updating an enrollment has
passed. Enrollment updates are required every three years from the date Navy Personnel Command approves an enrollment, with the
exception of Category 6 (temporary category), which must be updated within one year of enrollment.
REJECTED – An enrollment package has already been submitted for
review through the approval process.
REQUEST – An initiation for request coming from self-identified
(service or family member) or MTF-identified (during routine healthcare or suitability screening by Suitability Screening Coordinator (SSO).
REQUEST DENIED – When an EFMP processing official determines that a request for enrollment does not merit approval thus
preventing an enrollment from starting.
NFAAS EFM Support User Guide
EFM_Support_UG_v1.0 Page 8 of 64
Case Liaison (CL) – Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) Fleet and Family Service Center (FFSC) representative for
identifying and coordinating EFMP resources to assist EFM candidates during the enrollment process and once enrolled.
Regional Case Liaison (RCL) – CNIC representative for coordinating EFMP CL support resources across a given Navy Region.
MTF Coordinator – Medical Treatment Facility Coordinator. Every
MTF appoints an EFMP Coordinator to facilitate the enrollment process. Coordinators are responsible assisting service and family
members with completing enrollment forms and submitting them to the Central Screening Committee (CSC).
CSC – Central Screening Committee. The CSC validates appropriate
enrollment and recommends an EFM category for PERS 451 final approval.
PERS 451 - Navy Personnel Command (NPC) EFMP Execution Branch (PERS-451) in Millington, Tenn. Receives EFM application and reviews the category recommendation from the CSC and
determines the final enrollment and category.
1.2 What Do I Need To Use EFMP?
EFMP within NFAAS requires you to have access to a working computer
connected to the public Internet. We understand that you may not always have a computer with Internet capability. However, the
following are a few alternative resources that may be used:
If you have a cell phone or telephone available, you may contact other family members or friends, and ask them to access NFAAS
on their computer on your behalf (they will need your or your sponsors Social Security number and date of birth).
You may use a public computer available at community centers, emergency shelters, airports, schools, libraries, and select
businesses (e.g., Internet cafes, copy stores or coffee shops).
You may request assistance from various groups (e.g., local authorities, community service organizations, relief agencies,
volunteers, etc.) to relay your status to your chain of command.
