**CURRENT DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION EMPLOYEES DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT/FAX
SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTATION UNLESS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BY THE
SERVICING HUMAN RESOURCES SPECIALIST**
The next step of the application process is to fax all the required
supporting documentation specified in the Required Documents section
of this vacancy announcement. You do not need to have all of your
supporting documentation submitted in order to continue with the
online portion of the application process. Please carefully follow
the instructions below, to ensure your supporting documents are
properly faxed and received. All required documents must be received
by midnight Eastern Time on the closing date of the vacancy
announcement.
***Not all of the document types listed will pertain to you; only
submit documents needed to complete your application package. For
example, the Schedule A Certification document must only be submitted
by individuals applying based on eligibility for appointment due to a
disability. The SF-50 is a form current and former Federal
employees submit to document their Federal employment status, and a
DD-214 is only required from applicants with military service.
FAX INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If you have previously faxed supporting documentation the status
of those documents will indicate Received. There is no need to
resubmit documents which show a status of received unless you are
submitting an updated copy. (If a document is resubmitted, it
replaces the previous submission, which means the previous document
is no longer available to the human resources office. If you are
adding to, rather than replacing, a previous submission, you must fax
both the old document and the new document for them both to be
accessible to HR.)
2. You must use a separate cover sheet for each category of
supporting documentation (i.e., transcripts, SF-50, DD-214). Choose
the document cover sheet(s) you would like to print by selecting the
appropriate check boxes in the Selected Documents column.
3. Click the [Print Cover Sheets] button. A window will pop up
containing the fax cover sheet(s) you selected. Print the coversheet
(s). NOTE: You must be connected to a printer in order to print the
coversheets. Additionally, you must allow pop-ups.
4. Once you have reviewed the list of documents and printed any
required fax cover sheets click on [Done]. You will be moved forward
in the application process.
5. Before faxing your document(s), take care to ensure the document
is legible and all information is complete and signed, if necessary.
Fax only documents which are clear and legible. Original documents
with light or faded print and/or dark or patterned backgrounds
will not be legible upon receipt. Illegible faxed documents cannot
be used for qualification or verification purposes.
6. Place the corresponding cover sheet on top of the document and
fax the cover sheet and document together to the fax number specified
on the cover sheet. NOTE: If you are faxing documents from more
than one category of supporting documentation, you must submit them
with the appropriate cover sheet. EACH DOCUMENT TYPE MUST BE FAXED
SEPARATELY under its corresponding cover sheet. DO NOT FAX ALL
DOCUMENTS TYPES UNDER ONE COVER SHEET. (i.e., Transcripts are one
type of document; fax all pages of your transcript and other
education-related documents under the transcript cover sheet; the SF-
50 is another document type, if you are faxing more than one SF-
50, fax them all under the SF-50 cover sheet.)
7. Be sure to save these cover sheets in the event you need to re-
fax your supporting documents. Each fax transmission includes a
unique identification number and bar code, which ensures your
document is processed correctly.
8. You will receive an e-mail confirming the fax has been
successfully received by Human Resources. You should retain your e-
mail confirmation and confirmation of your fax transmittal report as
proof of submission.
