The company knowingly committed fraud. The legal standard for fraud is high. You must show that your employer made a false claim for payment with the specific intent to receive government money through the deception.

You filed within the statute of limitations. The time limit for filing a claim varies. In most cases, you have six years from the time the violation occurred, but some circumstances may have exceptions. The False Claims Act includes a formula for determining the statute of limitations.

A qui tam lawsuit is filed by an individual on behalf of the government. The words “qui tam” come from the Latin phrase, “qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur.” It means, “He who sues on our Lord the King’s behalf as well as his own.”
Also known as the “Lincoln Law,” the False Claims Act gives private citizens the right to sue any individual or company that is defrauding the government. The citizen also receives a portion of the government’s recovery.
Anonymity depends on the facts of your claim. Many whistleblower claims are confidential to the public. However, the government and the defendant will know your identity. Some cases allow you to remain anonymous, like those filed under the Securities Exchange Act.
Whistleblowers can receive 15 to 30 percent of a recovery.
Anyone can be a whistleblower, as long as the fraud has not been publicly revealed. You do not have to be an employee to hold a company or organization accountable.
