The False Claims Act has proven to be one of the most effective tools in fighting Medicare and Medicaid fraud, defense contractor fraud and other types of fraud perpetrated against the federal government.

The qui tam provisions, which allow whistleblowers to file False Claims Act lawsuits against companies and individuals that defraud the government, have been key to the law’s success. Since the False Claims Act was amended, the government has recovered more than $3.5 billion as a result of qui tam lawsuits.

states -- and Virginia -- as well as the District of Columbia have their own versions of the False Claims Act. In those places, whistleblowers can recover money against defendants who commit fraud against state and local governments.
