What You Should Know About the False Claims Act?

The False Claims Act governs whistleblower claims and was originally created during the Civil War to prevent government suppliers from abusing their financial relationship with the army.

Today, the law has been extended to combat health care fraud and other financial abuse that commonly occurs in industries, such as housing, construction, energy and more.

The law specifically prohibits:

• Conspiring to submit a false claim
• Knowingly presenting a false claim for payment or approval
• Failing to deliver money or property that is to be used by the government
• Knowingly making a false statement on record
• Knowingly receiving property from an individual who has no authority to sell the property
• Knowingly helping to confirm the receipt of government property without knowing if the information on the receipt is accurate and true to its word

The False Claims Act law can be difficult to understand. Having a skilled attorney walk you through the process may be beneficial in helping you to determine whether or not you may have grounds for a whistleblower case.

Compensation That May Be Awarded to Whistleblowers

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:

If you have any questions regarding a whistleblower claim, it is important that you seek legal counsel to better understand your situation and how an attorney may be able to help.
