Is company obligated to pay the 1st amount quoted after they've found an error?

I was laid off yesterday after 13 yrs of service when my company was sold. The new owner has decided to downsize. Within 1 hr after my lay off, I received my Release and Severance offer of $42 K. via email - I sent an email asking for a breakdown and how the number was derived. I received another email with a notice of an Administrative error of calculation and a new attached letter showing the severance was reduced to $25K along with an apology. Of course I'm upset, but do they have any legal obligation to pay the 1st offer of $42K?
I have not responded to this last email, nor have I spoke to them.
I appreciate any guidance.
Nancy
