What is the False Claims Act?

The False Claims Act is a federal law that has been in place since the Civil War. It was created to help prevent military contractors from defrauding the government.

This act has been amended several times since it was first created back in 1863. More recently, the False Claims Act has been used to combat fraud in several industries, including energy, housing, construction and health care.

The False Claims Act prohibits:

• Conspiring to submit a false claim
• Intentionally bringing forth or causing a false claim for approval or payment
• Intentionally bringing forth, creating or using false records or materials
• Accepting government property from someone who is not legally authorized to sell it
• Delivering a document that confirms the government is receiving property without verifying if the information is valid
• Maintaining control of a property being used or to be used by the government and intentionally delivering less of that property or money than its proper value

What Types of Fraud Does the False Claims Act Cover?

Energy companies usually make a deal with the government to provide royalties from any profits. However, energy companies may try to reduce the value of royalties by reporting less profit than they actually achieved.
• Health care ”“ Hospitals or other health care providers may try to submit fraudulent claims by overcharging, charging for the same procedure twice or charging Medicare and Medicaid for services that were never performed.
• Contractors ”“ Bribes, kickbacks and submitting fraudulent certifications are just some of the things that contractors are known to do in their efforts to compete for highly-coveted government contracts.
• Financial ”“ There is often fraud with government pensions and government-backed mortgages.
• Environmental ”“ A common example is lying about services that were never provided. Test results may also be forged to allow or prevent development of land.
