  1. MSHA Individual Identification Number Helping to safeguard the identities of the Nation’s miners Beginning April 21, 2008

  2. What is a MIIN? • A MIIN is an MSHA Individual Identification Number • MIIN’s will be substituted for the social security number, eliminating the need for miners to provide the SSN on documents submitted to MSHA • Use of the MIIN will help protect against identity theft

  3. Why does MSHA collect SSN’s? • Currently all qualifications, certifications and instructors are tracked by the SSN • By collecting the SSN when applying for a MIIN MSHA will be able to validate that the correct qualifications and certifications are assigned to the correct individual

  4. Who should have a MIIN? • Anyone who has MSHA Qualifications or Certification • Anyone applying for a MSHA Qualification or Certification • Anyone that is updating or receiving new Qualifications or Certifications • Part 48 Instructors • MSHA Approved Electrical Trainers • Part 90 Miners

  5. When should a MIIN be requested? • The Individual should request the MIIN BEFORE receiving training or submitting Dust Data Card’s / respirable dust samples. This will enable the MIIN number to be submitted on the training form or data card when submitted to MSHA. • The Instructor applicant should request a MIIN when submitting their resume to be considered for instructor approval.

  6. How will the MIIN be used? • The one MIIN will be used to substitute for the SSN • The MIIN is only applicable to records submitted to MSHA • One MIIN is all you need. All your records will use the same MIIN number

  7. MIIN and Part 90 Miners • Part 90 miners will be tracked by a MIIN • If a miner exercises the Part 90 option and already has a MIIN, then that MIIN will be used in place of the Part 90 miner’s SSN • If a miner exercises the Part 90 option and does not have a MIIN issued, then MSHA will issue a MIIN that will be used in place of the SSN. MSHA will notify the Part 90 miner of the assigned MIIN. • All respirable dust samples for Part 90 miners must include the Part 90 miner’s assigned MIIN

  8. How do I get a MIIN? • MIIN’s must be requested by the individual by either: • Filling in a MIIN Request Form and mailing or faxing it to the Q&C Office as noted on the form, or • Calling the Q&C Office at 1-800-579-2647, or • Going to MSHA’s website (www.MSHA.gov) and using the Quick Links, Forms/Online Filing, to go to the MIIN registration form.

  9. How often should a MIIN be requested? • You only need to request a MIIN number once.

  10. When must a MIIN be used? • The miner/instructor will be responsible for using the MIIN whenever contacting MSHA • When submitting requests for qualifications and certifications • When completing and submitting dust cards required under 30 CFR Parts 70, 71, and 90 • When submitting electrical training classes.
