Sec.  418.3510  When would an increase, reduction or termination start?

    We are required to give you a written notice of our proposed action 
before increasing, reducing, or terminating your subsidy. We will not 
give this advance notice where we have factual information confirming 
your death, such as through a report by your surviving spouse, a legal 
guardian, a close relative, or a landlord. The notice will tell you the 
first month that we plan to make the change. The notice will also give 
you appeal rights which are explained in detail in Sec. Sec.  418.3601 
through 418.3670. Your appeal rights for a reduction or termination will 
include the right to continue to receive your subsidy at the previously 
established level until there is a decision on your appeal request if 
your appeal is filed within 10 days after you receive our notice. You 
will not be required to pay back any subsidy you received while your 
appeal was pending.
