Yes - It's a penalty for willfully not notifying them when you move. It's in the FAQ section

A9. What happens if I do not file notice of change of my address with USCIS?

The penalties for failure to notify USCIS of change of address include criminal conviction of a federal misdemeanor, imprisonment of up to 30

days, fine up to $200. Penalties extend to detention and removal (deportation) from the U.S. if the failure was not “reasonably excusable” or

“willful”.

If subject to special registration, the penalties for failure to comply with any of the requirements of special registration, including failure to

notify USCIS of change of address, job or school or comply with the entry, exit and reporting requirements of special registration, include

denial of change or extension of status applications for failure to maintain status, removal (deportation) and exclusion from the U.S. Penalties

for fraudulent statements or for “willful” failure to register include criminal conviction of a federal misdemeanor involving imprisonment of up

to six months, and fine up to $1000.

The penalties for a sponsor (Form I-864) to notify USCIS of change of address include civil penalties of $250-$5000.
