Every year billions of dollars of U.S. government funds are paid to businesses who submit false and fraudulent claims for payment to the government. Without the help of qui tam whistleblowers, detection, investigation and prosecution is often impossible.

The False Claims Act allows qui tam whistleblowers to sue companies and individuals that defraud the government, even those who are not personally harmed by the fraud they report.

HOW DOES REPORTING QUI TAM FRAUD WORK?

With the help of an attorney, qui tam whistleblower cases are filed under seal. This sealed period allows the government to investigate the qui tam claims against the defendant confidentially. Eventually, the government can either take over the qui tam whistleblower’s case, or decline to do so, allowing the whistleblower to proceed with the litigation on his or her own.

15-30%

In a successful claim,  an qui tam whistleblower can receive 15-30% of the recovery.

$70B

Since 1986, the False Claims Act program has recovered $70 billion with the help of qui tam whistleblowers.

For a qui tam whistleblower who learns that a company, often their employer, is engaged in fraud on the government, the decision to blow the whistle can be overwhelming. Your reputation, career and sometimes your safety may be at risk. To challenge fraud under the False Claims Act and protect yourself at the same time, qui tam whistleblowers are required to seek an attorney.
