What is the False Claims Act?
The federal False Claims Act is a powerful statute that allows private citizens, known as a whistleblower or “relator,” to bring lawsuits on behalf of the U.S. government against companies and individuals committing fraud against federal programs. It incentivizes whistleblowers by allowing them to receive a portion of the funds recovered by the government.
Fraud schemes under the FCA can include things like:
- Charging the government too much for products or services.
- Lying on reports to receive money from the government.
- Faking claims in areas like healthcare, military contracts, or other government programs.
- Billing for services or goods that weren’t actually provided.
- Selling defective or low-quality products to the government.
- Submitting false information to win government contracts.
- Paying illegal kickbacks to secure government business.
- Misusing federal funds meant for specific purposes.
- Overstating expenses or costs on government projects.
Whistleblowers play a huge role in uncovering these fraud schemes, often risking their careers and personal safety to pursue justice. Berg & Androphy’s top-quality team of FCA lawyers stands by whistleblowers throughout the process, offering legal advice along side emotional and mental support.
