FCA Enforcement Accelerates
Womble Bond Dickinson – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently issued a memorandum prioritizing the expedited review of whistleblower-initiated False Claims Act (FCA) complaints targeting alleged fraud in state-administered programs that receive federal funding. This reform is designed to expedite FCA “meritorious qui tam cases, maximize finite enforcement resources, and focus on dismantling sophisticated fraud schemes that exploit taxpayer-funded programs,” including housing, food, medical care, and cash assistance.
