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.

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.
