False Claims Act

No matter how these cases are originated, the total number means the DOJ is overseeing twice as many new FCA matters as in 1993, according to the most recent report from DOJ.

Some defendants continue to violate the False Claims Act many times over, often changing schemes over time when they are discovered.

It is safe to assume that relying on government-initiated FCA actions would drastically reduce the amount of money that is recovered from fraudsters each year.

No matter how the Government spends taxpayer dollars, one thing is clear: the fraudsters certainly don’t deserve the money.

Of the 309,102 new civil cases filed in the U.S., only 652 were qui tam actions -- slightly more cases filed than in 2021.
