National Merit Commended

I was notified by my school earlier this week that I was named “commended” because of my PSAT score. ( ) I’m a little confused on all how of this works, so I have a few questions.
-I just added the honor to my common app - however, I’ve already applied to two schools, so they did not receive that as part of their application. I’ve heard that when I do receive an official notice that I’ll be able to send my PSAT score to three schools - should I send it to two of these, or some of my reach schools to legitimize my commendation?
-Do any schools offer scholarship money for National Merit Commended? (My mom is super upset that I sent in my application to a safety school without notifying them about my comended status)
-Did letters go out already? Should I be concerned I haven’t gotten one yet?
Thanks!
