Employee
whistleblower recovery laws in the United States have
been recently passed and strengthened to encourage
employees with specialized knowledge of fraud to blow
the whistle on significant fraud. These employee
whistleblower recovery laws provide strong whistleblower
protections and large economic incentives to employee
whistleblowers. If you are an employee or other person with special
knowledge of significant fraud including
Medicare Fraud, Government Contractor Fraud, Medicaid
Fraud, Tax Fraud, Securities Fraud, Commodity Fraud, or
Investment Fraud, feel free to

In addition to the Federal employee
whistleblower recovery laws, many states have also
passed employee whistleblower recovery laws that
encourage employees with original and specialized
knowledge of significant fraud against the government
including Medicare and Medicaid or several other
government programs to step up and blow the whistle on
the fraud. Like the Federal employee whistleblower
recovery laws, these laws often provide large economic
incentives to employee whistleblowers as well as provide
many whistleblower protections that protect the employee
whistleblower from retaliation.
Employee Whistleblower Recovery Lawsuits and the
Importance of Employee Whistleblower Recovery Laws
Most successful whistleblowers under
the whistleblower recovery laws are employees because
employees often have specialized knowledge and evidence
of fraud. However, in the past it has been
difficult to get employee whistleblowers to step forward
for fear of retaliation by an employer and the fear of
potentially losing their career. However, recent
changes in some employee whistleblower recovery laws
have included adding large potential economic rewards,
ability to keep identity confidential through all or
anonymous through most of the process, and strong
whistleblower protections from retaliation including
double back pack and attorney's fees.
By creating large economic incentives
and whistleblower protections for employee
whistleblower, the United States and many state
governments are encouraging employee whistleblowers to
step forward and have already had many employee
whistleblowers already step forward and help detect
billions in fraud.
Economic Incentives for Employee Whistleblower
Recover
Lawsuits, Bounty Action Whistleblower Recovery Lawsuits, and Qui Tam
Whistleblower Recovery Lawsuits
Qui Tam Actions are considered to
be the safest, most effective, and most efficient
way ever discovered to stop hard to detect fraud. Qui tam provisions of the False
Claims Act are based on the theory that one of the
least expensive and most effective means of
preventing frauds on taxpayers and the government is
to make the perpetrators of government fraud liable
to actions by private persons acting under the
strong stimulus of moral outrage against the
fraudulent act, protection from retaliation, and the
promise of large financial
gain.
The strong public policy behind
creating an economic gain for whistleblowers is that
the government would be significantly less likely to
learn of hard to detect systematic fraud, but for persons
in certain positions with specialized knowledge of
fraud that has been committed. Congress has made it
clear that creating this economic incentive is
beneficial not only for the government, taxpayers,
and the realtor, but is an efficient method of
regulating government to prevent fraud and
fraudulent schemes.
The central purpose of the qui
tam provisions of the False Claims Act is to set up
incentives to supplement government regulation and
enforcement by encouraging whistleblowers with
specialized knowledge of fraud going on in the
government to blow the whistle on the crime.
Government Spending and Health Care Spending Increase (Government
Fraud Costs Tax Payers Hundreds of Billions of Dollars)
Government spending in the United
States has surged past Five Trillion Dollars
($5,000,000,000,000) each year and is expected to
continue to increase in the futures.
Further, Health Care Expenses in the United
States have increased to be over Two Trillion Dollars ($2,000,000,000,000.00)
Dollars each year and are expected to continue to
increase. From a taxpayer stand point, preventing
government fraud can save hundreds of billions of
dollars.
Employee whistleblower
recovery lawsuits can include a vast variety of types of
fraud including Securities Fraud, IRS Tax Fraud,
Investment Fraud, Medicare fraud, FEMA Fraud Claims, Road Construction Fraud,
Overseas Government Contractor Fraud, Public
Works Fraud,
Government Contractor Fraud Claims, and
Defense Contractor Fraud
Claims. Numerous other types of fraud may also be
eligible for an employee whistleblower recovery.

History of Whistleblowers Lawsuits, Government
Fraud Lawsuits, and Qui Tam
Lawsuits
Governments
have long had trouble with unscrupulous government
contractors defrauding the government by providing
defective goods, over billing services, and seeking
payment for goods and services never provided.
The solution that many governments have created is
to set up economic incentives for whistleblowers
with inside information of fraudulent government
contracts to blow the whistle on government
contractors that are committing fraud.
Qui tam actions were used in the
13th century England as a way to enforce the King's
laws. These actions have existed in the United
States since colonial times, and were embraced by
the first U.S. Congress as a way to enforce the laws
when the new federal government had virtually no law
enforcement officers.
During the Civil War, corrupt
military contractors were defrauding the United
States Army out of hundreds of thousands of dollars
and putting troops at risk by supplying troops with
defective products and faulty war equipment. Illegal
price gouging was a common practice and the armed
forces of the United States suffered. In response,
Abraham Lincoln enacted the Federal Civil False
Claims Act. A key provision of the act was known as
qui tam.
This Act was weakened in 1943
during World War II while the government rushed to
sign large military procurement contracts. However,
it was strengthened again in 1986 after a long
period of and increase in military spending as well
as many stories of defense contractor price gouging
and government waste.
