Anyone ever have to deal with this? Does Social Security consider Jury Duty as work? I would have thought that the government would have known already that I'm disabled but I guess they choose potential jury duty members through driver's license's.
I was in this exact situation a couple of years ago. I spoke to my pdoc and he typed me up a letter stating that I am unable to do jury duty. I faxed it to the county office and they excused me from jury duty.
