Support for Military Families with Exceptional Needs Dependents (EFMP)

This legislation introduces new financial and logistical support for military families caring for dependents with special needs (EFMP). It ensures greater stability during service relocations by guaranteeing prompt access to medical care and providing grants for housing and vehicle adaptations. The goal is to ease the daily burdens associated with frequent changes of duty station.
Key points
Relocation stability guaranteed: No subsequent relocation required for 6 or 8 months, and initial care appointments must occur within 30 days of arrival at the new station.
Financial grants available: $8,000 for specially adapted housing after each move (for permanent and total disability) and a $3,000 grant for vehicle adaptation.
A $5,000 grant to cover legal costs related to establishing guardianship for a dependent turning 18.
