The False Claims Act is intended to encourage people to come forward with information and assist the government in stopping Medicare fraud, defense contractor fraud and other kinds of fraud. Under the statute, individuals are awarded a percentage of the money the government recovers as a result of their successful whistleblower lawsuits. The False Claims Act dates back to the Civil War when, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln and the Congress enacted this law to combat defense procurement fraud in which unscrupulous defense contractors were billing the Union Army for dead mules, boots with soles that had been glued on, rather than stitched (and were coming apart in the rain and mud), and gunpowder that had been salted down with sawdust. President Abraham Lincoln knew the federal government lacked the “insider knowledge” needed to uncover sophisticated schemes of fraud against the federal treasury. As a result, Lincoln wanted a law that would reward insiders who came forward with their private attorneys to disclose the fraud and prosecute it.

The False Claims Act dates back to the Civil War when, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln and the Congress enacted this law to combat defense procurement fraud in which unscrupulous defense contractors were billing the Union Army for dead mules, boots with soles that had glued on, rather than stitched (and were coming apart in the rain and mud), and gunpowder that had been salted down with sawdust. President Abraham Lincoln knew the federal government lacked the “insider knowledge” needed to uncover sophisticated schemes of fraud against the federal treasury.

This reward is called the “qui tam” provision, which permits citizens to sue on behalf of the government and be paid a percentage of the recovery.
