Assignment Coordination
When a family member's specific medical or educational needs are documented via the DD2792 and DD2792-1, HQMC EFMP Assignment specialist use the information to match documented needs to the capability of the proposed PCS location. While the military's mission guides these assignments, when MMOA/MMEA/RAM and EFMP work together, the goal is to find an assignment that supports mission, career progression and family member needs.

Enrollment in EFMP ensures consideration of a family member's needs during military assignments with the goal to place families in locations that can support those needs.
EFMP offers various support services, including information, referrals, and case management. Families can participate in EFMP events to build connection and support. Some families may be eligible for respite care.
EFMP helps facilitate necessary healthcare access during travel or relocation by making medical case management referrals to TRICARE.
Some individuals enrolled in EFMP will be eligible for priority housing. This status will be listed on your official enrollment letter and is part of the initial and updated enrollment process.
Families should update EFMP enrollment every 3 years or when there are changes in the family member's medical or educational needs.
If the family member is no longer a dependent, update DEERS and contact hqmc.efmp@usmc.mil to request disenrollment. If the family member’s medical and/or education condition has resolved, update DD 2792 and DD 2792-1, if applicable and submit with a request for disenrollment. If the condition still exists, we will not be able to facilitate the disenrollment, as EFMP is a DoD mandatory enrollment program, when qualifying conditions are present.
