To help ease the PCS transition process, The Exceptional Family Member Program provide help for those moving with dependents with special needs. The program ensures assistance in housing accommodations, special education needs, building networks and connecting to resources. (U.S. Marine Corps audio by Lance Cpl. Melizza Bonjoc)
I’M LANCE CORPORAL MELLIZZA BONJOC, WITH YOUR MARINE MINUTE.
THIS PCS SEASON HAS BEEN DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER.
IF YOU’RE MOVING WITH DEPENDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, THE
EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY MEMBER PROGRAM – OR E-F-M-P CAN HELP EASE THE
TRANSITION PROCESS.
E-F-M-P ENSURES THAT MARINES ARE ASSIGNED TO DUTY STATIONS WHERE
REQUIRED MEDICAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT ARE AVAILABLE
FOR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS’ NEEDS. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO FOCUS ON THE
MISSION, WHICH BENEFITS YOUR INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND UNIT
READINESS.
THE E-F-M-P CAN HELP WITH SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SERVICES
FOR FAMILIES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, SUCH AS HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS,
SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS, BUILDING NETWORKS, CONNECTING TO
RESOURCES AND HELPING YOU BECOME THE BEST ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF
OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBER.
ALSO, THE PROGRAM COORDINATES A WHOLE-HEARTED HANDOFF BETWEEN
THE EFMP STAFF AT YOUR CURRENT DUTY STATION AND YOUR NEW DUTY
STATION, TO SUPPORT A SMOOTH TRANSITION BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER
YOUR PCS.
TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE E-F-M-P, GO TO USMC-MCCS.ORG, CLICK ON
SERVICES, AND SCROLL DOWN TO EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY MEMBER.
THAT’S IT FOR YOUR MARINE MINUTE. FOR MORE NEWS AROUND THE CORPS GO TO MARINES.MIL.
