A federal qui tam action is a whistleblower lawsuit brought by an individual as a “relator” on behalf of the United States Government (the “Government”). The lawsuit arises under the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729) and seeks redress against companies and individuals who have filed false or fraudulent claims for payment from a Government program. The most common types of qui tam claims arise in the healthcare and defense industries. These claims are unique in that the relator brings the lawsuit “in the shoes” of the Government and is compensated with a sliding–scale percentage of the recovery.
