Of course it cost them 45 cents in postage, plus the cost of paper, envelope, ink and labor to mail me this notice. Is it a prerequisite that government employees be mindless automatons?
Actually, it is probably far cheaper to have that automated mailing process than it would be to have a live human review the records. They lost a nickel on you, but a nickel of a 30K a year employee's time is about 6 seconds.
