Pursuing Justice With The False Claims Act
The False Claims Act gives private individuals the power to file lawsuits against those who defraud the United States government. In fact, these whistleblowers are a valuable resource for governments to discover fraudulent activity within their departments.

If found guilty, the defendant in the case must pay the federal government civil penalties as well as triple the dollar amount of damages sustained.
