Waiting for Qui Notes? DOJ Confirms $2.2 Billion in False Claims Act Recoveries in FY2020

For the second year in a row, the Department of Justice has announced its official False Claims Act recovery statistics on the same day Arnold & Porter presented its FCA recoveries breakdown during its “Year in Review” webinar. As they predicted, DOJ reports having recovered approximately $2.2 billion in FY2020, the overwhelming majority of which ($1.86 billion) came from Health & Human Services matters. DOJ recovered just $75 million in Department of Defense matters and $297 million in what DOJ classifies as “Other” matters (i.e., those not involving HHS or DOD).
