Rewards for Information About Fraud

If you have information about fraud against the Government, you could be entitled to a reward. Fraudhotline is a free information service designed to inform private citizens, who have knowledge of fraud against the Government, about the False Claims Act.

The Act permits "whistleblowers" to file "qui tam" actions on behalf of the United States against wrongdoers then share in the Government's recovery. Similar statutes are now also in effect in numerous states, including California. Since 1986, when the False Claims Act was amended to make filing a "qui tam" action easier, private citizens have collected hundreds of millions of dollars in such suits while simultaneously assisting in the prosecution and deterrence of fraud against the United States.
