SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:
Exceptional Family Member Program; DD Form 2792, “Family Member Medical Summary,” and DD Form 2792-1, “Special Education/Early Intervention Summary; OMB Control Number 0704-0411.
Needs and Uses:
This information collection is necessary to identify any special medical (DD Form 2792) and/or educational (DD Form 2792-1) needs of military dependents to ensure the needs are considered when being assigned to a new location. The purpose of this information collection is to (1) enroll sponsors into the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), (2) consider the special needs of family members and the availability of medical and educational services through the Family Member Travel Screening (FMTS) process, and (3) advise civilian employees about the availability of medical and educational services to meet the special needs of their family members in overseas locations.
The sponsor or family member completes the demographics section on both collections, a qualified medical provider completes the medical summary on DD 2792, and the special education or early intervention staff completes the early intervention/special education summary of the DD 2792-1. On the DD 2792, the sponsor or family member provides authorization for disclosure of the medical information and certifies the accuracy of the information. On DD 2792-1, the sponsor or family member authorizes the release of information.
The information is provided to EFMP medical personnel for enrollment in the program, and both medical and educational screening personnel for their determination of the availability of medical and education resources necessary to meet the family member's needs. The medical and/or educational recommendation is supplied to the appropriate Military Department's personnel department in determining the future assignment for the service member.
This information collection may also be used to identify available medical and educational resources to DoD civilian employees who are considering a job overseas to assist them in deciding whether to relocate overseas with a family member who has special medical or educational needs.
