If during the course of a fiscal year the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management determines that these amounts should be revised, said secretary shall so notify the office and the office may modify its calculation pursuant to section 19a-671 to reflect such revision and its orders as it deems appropriate and the Commissioner of Social Services may modify said commissioner's determination pursuant to section 19a-671.
