PSAT early cutoffs?

I was talking with someone who lives in a different state whose school already informed them they would be a national merit semi finalist based on their PSAT score. I thought cutoffs were only released in august/september? If schools were informed early, and I am not aware yet, does this mean I am not a semi finalist? I have a 219, my states cutoff was a 216 last year. The consensus prediction across most calculator is 218 for my state this year.

Thoughts?

Cutoffs aren’t announced at all, the test prep gurus back into the cutoffs after the NMSFs are notified in late Aug/Sept.

Don’t worry. No one knows yet.
