Reporting Military Fraud or Homeland Security Fraud

This article shows you how to get a reward for reporting fraud against the military or fraud against Homeland Security.
Unfortunately, nearly ten percent (10%) of all spending by the military or Homeland Security is lost to fraud because government contractors are cheating on their military and Homeland Security contracts. The good news is that you can report fraud against the military or Homeland Security and put an end to the fraud and also receive a significant monetary reward.

This article outlines the basics for how to properly report military or Homeland Security fraud and how to formally apply for a whistleblower reward for reporting fraud against the military or Homeland Security.

As an initial matter, you can’t simply call a hotline to report fraud against the military or fraud against Homeland Security and be eligible for a whistleblower reward. Rather, how to get a reward requires that you use an attorney (on a contingency basis for a portion of the reward) to file qui tam suit under the False Claims Act. Your lawyer must follow the process in the reward statute to be eligible for a reward for reporting military or Homeland Security fraud. Therefore, it is key that you select an attorney experienced with handling reward applications for military or Homeland Security fraud cases.

In addition, you need to report very specific information about the fraud against the government. The government turns down 75 percent of reward applications, so it is critical that your attorney organizes the information in both a clear and convincing manner.
