The False Claims Act helps to prevent fraud by those who do business with the federal government. The FCA rewards and protects whistleblowers who expose companies, individuals, and contractors who defraud the government with respect to government funds, including grants and payments from the government for goods and services. If you expose fraudulent conduct by your employer, the FCA protects you from retaliation and also provides that you can file a qui tam action and be awarded up to 30% of any funds recovered. Read below for more information about whistleblower and retaliation protections and what is involved in filing a qui tam action under the False Claims Act.
