I transferred locations from HCOL (NY) to MCOL (PA) in early February and signed a transfer letter saying my salary would not change. HR just reached out to me that they missed reviewing my salary and it will actually have to decrease. I received the new transfer letter today with a salary ~9k less than my current salary. Any advice?

Just say no and decline to sign any new documents, you have a signed legal document stating your salary will not change which should be binding for the company. I had a similar experience when I moved from HCOL to MCOL and HR messed up my new salary calc. I noticed it after the move because my paychecks were not the correct amount and altered HR. They came back saying they made a mistake and asked me to sign a new letter with "correct" adjustment, I declined and eventually they honored the original agreement.

Declining is your best option. Be advised your future raises/merit increases will likely be considerably smaller than your peers in the next few years until your salary is back in line with your PA colleagues.

Frame it around “I have already planned based on the salary amount you confirmed and we have since moved forward and locked this in with the transfer two months ago”

A similar-ish miss happened here, though it was cleared up before the move completed and HR agreed to keep the same salary. The issue was the person was above the salary range for a bit, so there were no raises. Person got promoted within two years, so it was good.
