The notice must inform the recipients of the notice that the support order has been reviewed by automated methods and must give notice of the modified support amount and the effective date of the modification. Upon receipt of the notice, either parent may appeal by submitting a written request for a formal hearing. The provisions of 15 AAC 05.010 and 15 AAC 05.025 - 15 AAC 05.040 regarding formal hearings apply to an appeal under this subsection.
