Welcome to the Ying-Yu Hobbs Misconduct Site
In 2025, Ying-Yu Hobbs was Office Manager of the Mountain View, California Social Security Field Office. Note: The supervisor for the office in question was Andrea Galina.
As of October 2025, I'd spent nearly the entire year attempting to interact with Ms. Hobbs as politely and as productively as possible.
Ms. Hobbs, for her part, spoke with me once by phone, gave me her phone extension, and promised to speak with me again. She broke the latter promise and, on October 10, 2025 escalated the matter without cause in writing that threatened litigation and “law enforcement” actions against me.
The context is that one of Ms. Hobbs' staff members phoned me out of the blue in Spring 2025 to berate me about something that had not happened and to threaten to harm my Social Security payments.
Note: The staff member identified himself as “Joe”. This was, in fact, a staff member, calling about a specific situation, and not a phisher.
The staff member is believed to have carried out the threat. I've been seeking ever since to discuss the matter with Ms. Hobbs.
They say that no good deed goes unpunished. I've spent a year on trying to be civil to this civil servant and it was pointless. Yingyu Hobbs is anything but civil herself.
I'll be filing complaints at different levels and ultimately, polite and responsible SSA agents have explained to me, I'll probably need to go to a department named Congressional Unit.
