Ep. 4.02: An Update on False Claims Act Enforcement
Episode 2
Friday, 9 May, 2025
The False Claims Act is the government's primary tool for redressing fraud against the United States. A party violates the Act when they knowingly submit a false claim for payment to the government. If a party is found to have violated the False Claims Act, they could be liable for significant treble damages and civil fines. Needless to say, government contractors, who regularly submit claims for payment to the government, must keep up with False Claims Act trends. In this episode of Bona Fide Needs, Tirzah Lollar and Christian Sheehan of Arnold & Porter examine recent False Claims Act developments. They discuss how the Trump Administration has impacted False Claims Act enforcement, a recent constitutional challenge to the Act's qui tam provision, and they provide an update on the Department of Justice's Civil Cyber Fraud Initiative.
