What Is The False Claims Act?
The federal False Claims Act (the “FCA”) permits whistleblowers to file a lawsuit on behalf of the government and then obtain a significant share of any monies recovered through settlement or judgment. The amounts at issue quickly add up. The FCA permits the government to recover three times the original amount of the fraud plus additional substantial civil penalties.
Originally enacted to deter and catch war profiteers selling defective material to the Union Army, the FCA has gone through many revisions and changes but remains the single best and most important law for the recovery of frauds against the United States. The FCA continues to provide an avenue for concerned individuals to hold fraudsters accountable and make an impact in their communities.
Examples Of False Claims Cases
The False Claims Act is the primary tool to address fraud against the government. Government spending, and government fraud, appears in essentially every sector of the economy. The quintessential example is military procurement. Selling defective goods to the military or artificially inflating costs and fees is fraud that can be addressed through the FCA.
