Federal Whistleblower Cases
Most people would agree that if they were being ripped off, they would want to know about it. The federal government is no different. The federal government enacted the Federal False Claims Act to stop people from cheating it, and to begin recovering the millions of dollars lost through fraud every year.

What Is The Federal False Claims Act?
When someone uncovers the fact that a third party is presenting false claims for money to the federal government, the whistleblower is entitled to recover a percentage of the money that the federal government recovers from the person who made the fraudulent claims. This is tremendous incentive for people to report false claims to the federal government.
Legal protection is available for both federal whistleblowers and those who report fraud against the state of California. Not only is there protection, but there is a handsome incentive to report these violations. You could stand to make a lot of money on the government's litigation against the fraudulent party.
Have You Seen Someone Cheating the Government?
Before the Federal False Claims Act, no one had any incentive to report fraud against the government. Reporting someone for fraud is a big deal, causing whistleblowers to get involved with things they probably have no interest in being involved with. The possibility of recovering a percentage of the government's damage award from a fraud claim makes it worth the risk for people who have witnessed fraudulent activities.
