Understanding the False Claims Act

The False Claims Act is one of the most powerful tools the U.S. government has for combating fraud. Originally passed during Abraham Lincoln’s presidency to prevent fraud in government contracts during the Civil War, the FCA has evolved into a formidable force for holding entities accountable for defrauding federally funded programs. Under the FCA, private individuals, known as whistleblowers or “relators,” can file lawsuits on behalf of the U.S. government to expose fraudulent activities. These lawsuits, known as qui tam actions, allow whistleblowers to share in the government’s recovery, often receiving 15-30% of any settlement or judgment. 

The FCA serves a crucial purpose by uncovering fraud in sectors such as healthcare, defense contracting, and financial services. Whether the fraud involves false billing, kickbacks, or misrepresentation, blowing the whistle under the FCA means that those who exploit government funds are held accountable. Significantly, in additional to financial incentives, the FCA provides protections against whistleblower retaliation, such as wrongful termination or harassment, so that individuals can take action without fear of personal or professional repercussions.
