The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a mandatory enrollment program that works with other military and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinated community support, housing, educational, medical, and personnel services to families with special needs. Sailors on active duty enroll in the program when they have a family member with a physical, emotional, developmental, or intellectual disorder requiring specialized services, so their needs can be considered in the military personnel assignment process. The exceptional family module is available online at the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System website. For more information, contact the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) Customer Service Center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC, or visit the NPC website.
