(2) the parent's or parents' contributions to a Kansas postsecondary education savings account established on behalf of the child through the child support savings initiative program.

(b) All arrears adjustment programs shall be approved by the department's child support services and shall include programs designed to provide job skills, further education, and enhance parenting skills.
