Bill 118 s 2529, also known as the Exceptional Family Member Program Support Act, aims to provide assistance to military families with dependents who are enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP). The EFMP is a program that provides support and services to military families with special needs dependents, such as children with disabilities.
The bill proposes several measures to improve support for these families, including increasing access to respite care services, expanding mental health resources, and enhancing coordination between military and civilian agencies. Additionally, the bill seeks to improve the identification and enrollment process for families in the EFMP, as well as provide additional training and support for military personnel working with these families.
Overall, the goal of Bill 118 s 2529 is to ensure that military families with special needs dependents receive the support and resources they need to thrive within the military community. The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a crucial step towards better supporting these families who sacrifice so much for our country.
