The Family Member Relocation Clearance screening identifies special needs and determines the availability of services at projected location. The EFMP process does not affect TDY or mobility status. Each member can initiate this process 6 months before DEROS and this process may take 30 days after turning in the paperwork to EFMP-M office.
