Irene Cortes is your checklist and all accompanying documents turned in? Your service member needs to work with his chain of command to follow up.

The last time he checked on it, where was the packet?

No disrespect intended, have you done your EFMP Screening yet? Has your husband actually submitted the necessary paperwork for command sponsorship? It’s easy to blame it on your command when you don’t wa t to take responsibility of why things are not happening the way it’s suppose to be. If your EFMP was done and actually submitted to the appropriate office, you would have received and approval or disapproval by now.

I asked if your spouse has done his part because when I was a dependent married to a service member, he had me convinced he did everything and was waiting on his command. Well I found out that wasn’t true, not one time did he inform me I needed an EFMP physical (even though they gave him the form to give to me). I hope that’s not the case but the command can’t process the request without the EFMP. Good Luck to you...

I hand carried the paperwork and filled out the forms myself in the early 90s. It worked but I don't recommend that approach.

I suggest you make sure your husband is asking about it constantly. Don't rush because once you get here in Germany, you wont get any benefits financially, just COLA. and that's just change.
