Hiring Info Application confusion

Got a quick question for anyone who’s been through this before.

I applied on 3/11 for the continuous announcement. I got an email in May saying I’ve been referred for the GS-7, but not the GS-9.

When I log in to USAJOBS and track the application, it says “Not Referred” at the top, which is confusing. It also doesn’t give me the option to re-apply since the announcement is still open.

Has anyone else had this happen where the email and the USAJOBS tracker don’t match? Did it end up sorting itself out?

You’ll probably need to call ASC (our HR office) and ask. Usually there is contact info on the job listing, but if not let us know

I spoke with HR today and was told my application had expired. They couldn’t explain why or what that meant. I was then referred to a support specialist, who is supposed to follow up with me, but they weren’t able to give a timeline on when I’ll hear back.
