Abstract: The purpose of the Intergovernmental Referral Guide (IRG) project is to provide States, and Tribes with an effective and efficient way of viewing and updating profile, address and FIPS code information by consolidating data available through numerous discrete sources into a centralized, automated repository. The IRG has been expanded to include Tribal information. It is an essential reference tool, maintained by OCSE, that provides State and Tribal Child Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies with the information needed to process intergovernmental child support enforcement cases. The IRG consists of State and Tribal profiles, which provide a concise overview of State and Tribal child support enforcement procedures, as well as a directory of all Federal, State, local addresses, selected international addresses, and Location Codes and Addresses (formally FIPS Codes).
