Work taking my raise after minimum wage increase

Hi! Wondering if y'all experienced this or had any talking points before I see my manager. Basically, I work a minimum wage service job with low tips. Last summer, we all got a raise to be 26 cents over minimum wage. Our state's minimum wage increased by 50 cents on January 1. So now, I'm sitting at minimum wage without the extra 26 cents, so it's like my company raise just went away. Is that allowed? I know I'm making more overall, but they say we get a raise each year. It just seems like a 6 month temporary raise to me?!
