In some whistleblower claims, the government may intervene on your claim, which is often a beneficial situation. If the government joins in a case, there is often a greater chance of success than when they do not intervene. In this type of intervention, the government’s attorneys typically take control of the case and may choose to either dismiss it, pursue and prosecute the case, or settle it.

A company that violates the False Claims Act is essentially stealing money from the government. If a claim is successful, a whistleblower may be eligible to receive a portion of any funds recovered.
The percentage of funds a whistleblower may receive depends on whether or not the government participated in the lawsuit. If the government joined in on a case, a whistleblower could receive between 15 and 25 percent of the recovered funds. However, if the government decides not to intervene, the whistleblower may be eligible to receive between 25 and 30 percent of the recovered funds.
Compensation may also cover legal costs, like attorney’s fees and additional expenses. However, since we operate on contingency, if the claim is not successful, we do not get paid.
If your employer retaliated against you and your claim is successful, the False Claims Act requires your employer to reinstate you to your previous position and pay you back double for the wages you did not receive.
Acts of retaliation in the workplace may include:
