1. The circuit clerk in a case that is not a IV-D case or the division in a IV-D case shall record credits on the automated child support system records established pursuant to this chapter or chapter 452 for amounts not received by the clerk or the division.

2. Credits allowed pursuant to this section shall include, but not be limited to, in-kind payments as provided in this section, amounts collected from an obligor from federal and state income tax refunds, state lottery payments, Social Security payments, unemployment and workers' compensation benefits, income withholdings authorized by law, liens, garnishment actions, abatements pursuant to section 452.340, and any other amounts required to be credited by statute or case law.

3. Credits shall be recorded on the trusteeship record for payments received by the family support division and, at the discretion of the family support division, and upon receipt of waivers requested pursuant to subsection 4 of this section, credits may be given on state debt judgments obtained pursuant to subsection 1 of section 454.465 for completion of such activities as job training and education, if mutually agreed upon by the division and the obligor. The circuit clerk shall make such credits upon receipt of paper or electronic notification of the amount of the credit from the division. The division may record the credit or adjust the records to reflect payments and disbursements shown on the trusteeship record when the trusteeship record is contained or maintained in the automated child support system established in this chapter.

4. The director of the department of social services shall apply to the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services for all waivers of requirements pursuant to federal law necessary to implement the provisions of subsection 3 of this section.

5. Credits shall be entered on the automated child support system for direct and in-kind payments received by the custodial parent when the custodial parent files an affidavit stating the particulars of the direct and in-kind payments to be credited on the court record with the circuit clerk; however, no such credits shall be entered for periods during which child support payments are assigned to the state pursuant to law. Such credits may include, but shall not be limited to, partial and complete satisfaction of judgment for support arrearages.

6. Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit satisfaction of judgment as provided for in sections 511.570 to 511.620 and by supreme court rule.

7. Application for the federal earned income tax credit shall, when applicable, be required as a condition of participating in the alternative child support credit programs of subsection 3 of this section.
