Shaw EFMP - Family Support

Shaw EFMP - Family Support Welcome to the Official Page of the Shaw Air Force Base Exceptional Family Member Program - Family Support (EFMP - FS). ZERO IS NOT AN OPTION IN THAT FIELD.

ALL SERVICES ARE FREE OF CHARGE AND DOES NOT COST ANYTHING. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU'RE A DOD ID CARDHOLDER. The Air Forceโ€™s Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is designed to provide support to military family members with special needs. EFMP is offered by all branches of the military, and each Service includes a variety of personnel, medical, and family support functions under the E

FMP umbrella. The portions of EFMP support that are provided by the AF Medical Service are known as EFMP-Medical (EFMP-M). EFMP-Family Support (EFMP-FS) is the community support components provided by Airman and Family Readiness Centers (A&FRCs). EFMP-M and EFMP-FS work together with the Assignments branch at the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) to provide comprehensive and coordinated medical , education , community support, housing, and personnel services to families with special needs. All three functions work with other military and civilian agencies to enhance the quality of life for families as they relocate around the world with their sponsors. Additionally, EFPM-FS, EFMP-M, and EFMP- Assignments (EFMP-A) strive to ensure Air Force (AF) sponsors and Department of Defense(DoD) civilians are assigned or employed in locations that support both the accomplishment of the mission and the well-being of families. EFMP is a mandatory enrollment program, administered by AFPC that works with the medical community and the key community agencies to identify Active Duty sponsors who have family members with special educational or medical needs. One of the goals is to protect the federal entitlements and the military benefits of family members as they move around the world with their Active Duty sponsors. PLEASE NOTE THAT WITH RESPECT TO PRICE RANGE, ALL OF OUR SERVICES ARE FEE TO OUR MILITARY MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. SHOULD YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE CENTER.
