Question

So the question in my discussion board is " Wehn employees of County Bank are summoned to serve on jury duty, the firm pays its workers the difference between their regular wages and the amount received for jury duty. One such employee has been receiving $365 per week. She just completed a five-day week of jury duty, for which she was paid $65 ($9 per day plus 20 cents per mile from her house to the courthouse, a 20- mile round trip). How much of the employee's earning are subject to FICA tax?"

Im confused a bit... the difference in the regular pay and jury duty pay is 365-65=300 right? 

so does that mean just 300 is subject to FICA tax 

but in my book it says jury duty pay is another common type of payment that is considered a wage under FICA so would the full 365 be subject to FICA?
