Three years ago, our whistleblower lawyer blog<\/a> presented an in-depth article discussing the nation’s major whistleblower law, the False Claims Act, and the wave of new state False Claims Acts.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since then in 2009-2010, Congress has amended the False Claims Act three times <\/a>to remove obstacles created by courts, which had limited the law’s effectiveness. To reflect those important and needed changes in the law, I have updated this article to present at the 2010 Fraud and Compliance Forum sponsored by the American Health Lawyers Association and Health Care Compliance Association<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That detailed article is excerpted here to explain the False Claims Act, with its 2009-2010 amendments. For ease of reading, it is divided into six parts:<\/p>\n

Part 1: Introduction: What You Should Know About the False Claims Act And New State False Claims Acts After the 2009-2010 Amendments<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 2: The False Claims Act and the Increasing Number of State False Claims Acts<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 3: The False Claims Act: Background & History<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 4: How the False Claims Act Works After the 2009-2010 Amendments (with Comparisons to Some State False Claims Acts)<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 5: The Trend of Recoveries Under the False Claims Act<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 6: States’ Experiences With Their Own False Claims Acts<\/a><\/p>\n
