Absolutely. Whistleblowers can often file claims under both the New Jersey and federal False Claims Acts when fraud involves both state and federal funds. This can maximize protections and potential financial rewards.

CEPA prohibits retaliation (e.g., termination, demotion) and allows for remedies like double back pay, emotional distress damages, and attorney's fees. Claims typically have a one-year statute of limitations.
