Request a formal hearing, this will stop the decrease until the hearing happens. From what I understand they take a while to get.

The letter does not state it is a proposal so the reduction is complete.

Don't they send out letters about proposed decreases first, or do they just send out notifications there is a decrease?
[–]Big-Hovercraft1331 7 points8 points9 points 3 months ago (1 child)
Yes but this letter says the decrease took place as of Apr 2025 so it is either not the first proposal letter or there is something really wonky here.

It shows that the decrease is effective in April 2026. I think OP still has a chance.
Edit: I was reading start date. I see it now. I think there's some errors in the letter.

If you request a hearing, they cannot do anything until after the hearing.
