[nabs-l] Question about being blind and turning 18

[joseph hudson]

Hello Nesmith, I think everything that you have to do is make sure that you tell social security that you're doing this. Then if you're choosing to file taxes, then you will make arrest to request your employer to get the correct forms for you to file your taxes.

Also, I am 64, and have only been called for jury duty twice, and only had to actually go once.  So, it just isn't that likely for most of us.
