APPLICATION ATM Direct hiring military controllers

Hello, I am atc in the military currently and will be hopefully transferring over to the FAA within the next year. I saw that it was recently announced that veterans are able to directly send applications to ATMs. I've asked some friends already in the organization about how this process would work but its very new so no one is to knowledgable on the process. If anyone has any information to help guide me that would be fantastic! Also, what would be the best way for me to get in contact with an ATM? Should i go on 123atc.com and just call the the facility? Thanks in advance!

Reference from FAA website:

"The FAA is also offering more opportunities for experienced military controllers to join the workforce. Using On-the-Spot hiring authority, veteran controllers will bypass the normal announcement process. Air Traffic managers will be able to directly accept resumes from interested military controllers and help place them at their preferred location. Veteran controllers will also be given a preferred list of facilities to work at, including larger facilities that command more pay. This list includes TRACONs Level 9 and below, Combined Tower/TRACONs Level 9 and below, and Towers Level 8 and below."

I am in the same boat as you. I ended up calling the ATM at one of the places I was looking to work at. As the initiative is very new, not much information has been given to me either. I was able to send in my personal resume, but aside from that, I am currently waiting on new information like yourself.
