Has anyone recently completed a self-service initiated rollover into TSP?

I’m a former GS employee who leftleft Federal employment before the five year mark. I recently received my FERS refund from OPM, and they also mailed me a small check made payable to the TSP (FBO in my name) containing the interest earned on my FERS contribution.

Thinking that the rollover process would be simple, I successfully scanned and submitted my rollover check, and I successfully scanned and submitted the notification letter from OPM which details the reason and purpose of the rollover check. Easy peesy, right?

Well, not so fast.

My final task was to initiate self-service option on the TSP web site to generate and submit the "Next Steps for Your Rollover Contribution" form (which I believe replaced the now defunct TSP-60 form). I entered all of the requested information (employer, amount of the check, etc.) and clicked “submit” expecting that I would have the ability to then print out, sign, and upload the "Next Steps for Your Rollover Contribution" form. Well, that expectation never materialized. I don’t see anything generated in my documents, there are no TSP alerts letting me know that I have a new communication, etc. I also see no evidence that I scanned and uploaded the rollover check, nor do I see any evidence that I scanned and uploaded the OPM notification letter.

Has anyone - especially ex-Fed employees - recently had any experience with the TSP self-service rollover process? I’m wondering if TSP will *eventually* generate the "Next Steps for Your Rollover Contribution" form in the days ahead rather than my expecting it to occur in real time?

Honestly, why did they retire the TSP-60 form in the first place? Seems like a solution in need if a problem, lol.
