What is False Claims Act?

There is a qui tam provision that lets a private person sue on behalf of the government (and even pursue a lawsuit if the government chooses not to get involved). Section 3730(b). There are also whistleblower reward provisions that give between 15% and 30% of recovered monies to the person who came forward first with the fraud allegations. Section 3730(d). These whistleblower reward provisions further require a losing defendant to pay the whistleblower’s attorney’s fees and litigation expenses. Finally, there are whistleblower protection provisions that allow an employee (and others) to sue for workplace retaliation and recover two times lost income plus other amounts and forms of relief. Section 3730(h).

It can be very challenging for a lay person to fully grasp the meaning and significance of many sections of the False Claims Act. Some provisions are not easy to understand and some words or phrases have been interpreted by judges to mean things other than what an citizen might ordinarily expect. Any one of these provisions can be fatal to a possible False Claims Act case.
