The False Claims Act Explained

The False Claims Act is a federal law that imposes liability on individuals and companies that knowingly submit false claims for government funds. The Act not only targets direct fraud but also encompasses a range of illicit activities, such as overcharging for goods and services or billing for non-existent products. Originally enacted during the Civil War, the FCA is a powerful tool in the fight against corruption and fraud.

Whistleblower Incentives and Protections

The FCA provides a structured legal framework for individuals who report fraud, known as whistleblowers or relators, by offering both security and potential financial rewards. The FCA incentivizes whistleblowers to come forward expose fraudulent activity against government programs by offering them a portion of any recovered damages. Thus, while whistleblowers who choose to file qui tam lawsuits under the FCA technically sue on behalf of the government, they may share in any financial recovery.

Importantly, the FCA also includes robust anti-retaliation measures, protecting whistleblowers from suffering demotion, harassment, or termination at their jobs as a result of their actions.  These anti-retaliation protections are crucial, as they allow whistleblowers to report fraud without fear of losing their livelihood. This legal safeguard further encourages more individuals to come forward, enabling the government to recover billions of dollars from FCA litigation.
