The False Claims Act (FCA) is a powerful U.S. law designed to combat fraud against federal programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. It allows whistleblowers to file lawsuits on behalf of the government, potentially earning 15-30% of recovered funds if the case is successful.

To qualify as a whistleblower case under the False Claims Act, your case must meet these criteria:

• Government Financial Loss: The fraudulent act must involve misuse or theft of government funds or property.
• Knowingly Committed: The wrongdoing must have been done intentionally, recklessly, or with deliberate ignorance of the truth.
• Material Impact: The fraud case must have influenced the government’s decision to pay or approve funds.

If your case aligns with these points, it may qualify under the FCA. Consulting a whistleblower attorney can help confirm eligibility.
