What are the False Claims Act Awards for Relators?
Even though the percentages for rewards following complaints are no longer 50% under federal law as they were under the initial False Claims Act, the general idea is similar. Today, the percentages are between 15% and 30% under federal law. Some state laws have higher incentives. The idea is that it should be a very clear, very powerful incentive for people to come forward and take the difficult and heroic step of blowing the whistle on fraud.
