If contact is not available, CCA will gather initial information from parent to send to the partner agency via email Is family registered with the Navy EFM program? Are they Cat IV or V? NOCCA refers family to EFMP installation contact to get registered in the EFM program on base or if they are category III or below, they are informed they are not eligible at this time Agency will work with Navy family to determine respite care needs and locate appropriate providers. Agency will look for appropriate respite care and continue to work with the Navy family Family will contact CCA again once they are registered Navy family selects Respite Care providers.
