Are You a Whistleblower Eligible to Earn a Cash Reward for Spotlighting Fraud in the Performance of Department of Defense Contracts?
Under the federal False Claims Act (FCA), engineers, mechanics, IT professionals, and other defense contractors, subcontractors, or government grant recipient employees are urged to report knowledge of fraud, waste, and abuse of government funds.
When a defense contract whistleblower’s information on False Claims Act violations leads to the recovery of government funds, the whistleblower is eligible to collect between 15% and 30% of the total recovery amount. Whistleblowers who properly report FCA violations are also granted legal protections from employer retaliation, including demotion, termination, harassment or similar actions.
