If the agency cannot determine the monetary or percentage value of the deviation, the agency shall not apply the deviation to the revised amount of child support.
(C) Give the obligor and obligee notice, by ordinary mail, of the revised amount of child support, of their right to request an administrative hearing on the revised amount, of the procedures and time deadlines for requesting the hearing, and that the revised amount of child support will be submitted to the court for inclusion in a revised court child support order unless the obligor or obligee requests an administrative hearing on the proposed change within fourteen days after the notice under this division is issued;
