TAF
library resources
As
part of its information clearinghouse activities,
TAF maintains a comprehensive library on the
False Claims Act and qui tam provisions.
In response to inquiries, TAF can provide limited
copies of materials at no cost. We welcome
submissions (e.g., complaints, briefs and
settlement agreements) and suggestions for
additional resources. The library is open to the
public, by appointment, during regular business
hours.
False
Claims Act & Qui Tam
research binders
1.
Legal Topic The
False Claims Act & Qui Tam legal topic
binders are designed to provide a legal research
tool for the FCA and qui tam provisions
through a compilation of original and secondary
source materials. The binders are divided into
broad FCA and qui tam legal topics (e.g.,
Jurisdiction Under the Qui Tam Provisions)
with each binder containing relevant judicial
decisions, legal commentary, and pleadings. These
materials are organized according to a Legal
Topic Outline & Index, which is both an
outline of the specific legal issues under the
respective topic as well as an index to the
documents within the binder.
2.
Violations & Case History The
Violations & Case History Binders serve two
purposes. First, they contain summaries of
factual allegations that have served as the basis
for FCA complaints (whether or not such suits
have been successful). Also included are
government settlements of potential liability
under the FCA that have occurred without the
filing of a complaint. Second, in cases where
such information is available, the binders
contain materials pertaining to case history and
developments (e.g., complaints, news, articles,
DOJ press releases, and settlement agreements).
The binders and factual summaries are organized
by particular areas of federal procurement or
program (e.g., DOD Contracts, Medicare, and HUD)
and further subdivided according to general types
of activity allegedly giving rise to FCA
violations (e.g., mischarging or product
substitution under Defense, and unnecessary
services or upcoding under Medicare).

Court Decisions All
reported False Claims Act decisions as well as a
substantial number of unpublished opinions.
