A child support enforcement agency that sent a notice under section 3123.54 of the Revised Code of an individual's default under a child support order shall send to the registrar of motor vehicles a notice that the individual is not in default if it determines that the individual is not in default or any of the following occurs:
(A) The individual makes full payment to the office of child support or, pursuant to sections 3125.27 to 3125.30 of the Revised Code, to the child support enforcement agency of the arrearage as of the date the payment is made.
(B) If division (A) of this section is not possible, the individual has presented to the agency sufficient evidence of current employment or of an account in a financial institution, the agency has confirmed the individual's employment or the existence of the account, and an appropriate withholding or deduction notice described in section 3121.03 of the Revised Code has been issued to collect current support and any arrearage due under the child support order that was in default.
(C) If divisions (A) and (B) of this section are not possible, the individual presents evidence to the agency sufficient to establish either one of the following:

(2) The imposition of a suspension on the individual's driver's license or commercial driver's license, motorcycle operator's license or endorsement, or temporary instruction permit or commercial driver's temporary instruction permit would effectively prevent the individual from paying child support or any arrearage due under the child support order that was in default.
(D) If divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section are not possible, the individual enters into and complies with a written agreement with the agency that requires the obligor to comply with either of the following:
(1) A family support program administered or approved by the agency;
(2) A program to establish compliance with a seek work order issued pursuant to section 3121.03 of the Revised Code.
(E) If divisions (A), (B), (C), and (D) of this section are not possible, the individual pays the balance of the total monthly obligation due for the ninety-day period preceding the date the agency sent the notice described in section 3123.55 of the Revised Code.
The agency shall send the notice under this section not later than seven days after it determines the individual is not in default or that any of the circumstances specified in this section has occurred.
