Question about PA mail-in voting

I live in Montgomery County, PA. When I check on the website, it says my ballot was mailed on Sept 21 - but recently I have read that ballots started going out Oct 7. I want to vote so badly that I am getting anxious - I have not gotten a ballot yet. Is the Oct 7 info correct?

Thanks all.

I want to find out how many haven’t received theirs. The article did say the site info may not be accurate, but this is too important to let it go longer.

The County Commissioners had the genius idea to outsource the job to some company in Ohio, who could not keep up.

I don't know if the same thing happened in Montgomery County, but I'd call.

Mailed it out at the main county post office on Saturday so there were fewer hops to get where it needed to go (and less risk of shenanigans). The county board received it today.

They totally lied and said our ballots were mailed on October 3rd. They are really jacking with us.
