SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Summary of Information Collection
The Military Departments of the Department of Defense screen all
family members prior to a Service member and Federal employee being
assigned to an overseas location and to some assignments in the United
States. DD Form 2792, Family Member Medical Summary, and/or DD Form
27921, Special Education/Early Intervention Summary, will be completed
for family members who have been identified with a special medical and/
or educational need to document the medical and/or educational needs
and service requirements. Their needs will be matched to the resources
available at the overseas location to determine the feasibility of
receiving appropriate services in that location. The information is
used by the Military Service's personnel offices for purposes of
assignment only. DD Form 2792 and/or DD 279201 will also be completed
for family members of civilian employees to document their special
health and/or educational needs in order to advise the civilian
employee of the availability of the needed services. The DD Form 2792
and DD Form 27921 is also used by TRICARE Managed Care Support
Contractors to support a family member's application for further
entitlements, and other Servicespecific programs that require registration in the Exceptional Family Member Program.
