To become a whistleblower, you will need to file a claim with the program that protects against the specific type of fraud you’re reporting. Whistleblowers file most commonly with the False Claims Act (FCA), the SEC Whistleblower Program, or the IRS Whistleblower Program. There are some instances where a claim can be filed under multiple laws. The statute of limitations, procedure, attorney requirements, and whistleblower protections of your claim will vary depending on the program you’re planning to file under. Regardless of which program that is, we highly recommend consulting with an experienced whistleblower attorney before filing to assess your individual situation and advise you on the safest course of action.
