The Exceptional Family Member Program Respite Care Program (EFMP) provides temporary rest periods for Army families who care for their disabled Soldiers. Families can apply for the Respite Care Program at the nearest Army Community Service EFMP office. Qualifying families are eligible to receive up to 40 hours of funded EFMP respite care monthly for each certified family member and can receive up to $45 per hour for care. Revised guidelines for use of FY '09 EFMP respite care funds become effective Aug. 3. More information on the Exceptional Family Member Program in Europe is located on the Installation Management Command (IMCOM) Europe website.
