How to get a Reward for Reporting Fraud against the Government
Content: That’s because a reward for reporting fraud against the government is between 15 and 25 percent of the amount the government actually gets back from the company defrauding the government. Because you will have to pay taxes and give a portion to your attorney as a contingency fee for helping you report fraud, it may not be worth your time unless the amount of fraud against the government is in the millions. To receive a million dollar reward for reporting fraud, the amount of fraud against the government needs to be $7 million or more. This website (and the books authored by Mr. Hesch) walk you step-by-step through the process of reporting fraud against the government and shows you how to apply for a monetary reward. But here is a quick example of how to report fraud against the government and claim a whistleblower reward. If someone defrauds the government, such as lying about goods or services used under any government program (such as Medicare) or on contracts (such as the military or Homeland Security), they are liable to the government to repay triple the amount of the fraudulent request for payments. If you work for the company that is committing fraud against the government, you might be eligible for a reward. The first step is to contact an experienced False Claims Act attorney to assess your case. But do not delay. Only the first whistleblower to properly follow the procedures for reporting the fraud against the government is eligible for a reward.
