You should receive a separate email confirmation for each document
submitted. If you do not receive an automated email confirmation for
a document, you should refax that cover sheet and document to the
number provided. Do not assume that a document has been received
until you have received a confirmation email.
If you have questions regarding the status of your required
supplemental application documents, check your status and print
additional fax coversheets at any time by returning to the GSAjobs
registration page (https://jobs1.quickhire.com/scripts/gsa.exe).
Once you've entered your login information, select the "Generate Fax

screen you can select and print fax cover sheets and/or see the
status (including date received) of all requested documents.
If you wish to make any changes to your supplemental documents you
can refax using the original cover sheet or print a new one and fax
to the phone number provided. Only the most recently faxed version
of each document(s) will be maintained by the system. If you have
additions or changes, be sure to fax in the complete document.
If you do not have access to a fax machine, contact the Human
Resources office listed below to make other arrangements. If you
