Million Dollar Payouts Available for Reporting Fraud Against the Government

The average reward for reporting fraud against the government is $1.5 million. Nearly $3 billion in rewards have already been paid. Find out if you are eligible and how to apply.

The government pays rewards of up to 25% of the funds it recovers! This includes reporting fraud under any of the more than 20 federal program, such Medicare or the military. Many states have similar programs. Even the IRS is now paying whistleblower rewards for reporting tax evasion or income tax fraud. Consider the main reward program, administered by the Department of Justice:

  • $3 billion in rewards have already been paid
  • The largest rewards exceed $100 million
  • The average reward is $1.5 million
  • 1 out of 5 whistleblowers received a reward
  • Fraud accounts for nearly 10 percent of all government spending

Those who do not strictly follow the procedures, however, receive nothing. Four out of five applications are rejected. Like anything else involving the government, you have to follow the exact procedures—or else you won’t meet the standards and won’t get a dime. Although the government wants to partner with you, there are some technical requirements you must meet and pitfalls you must avoid.

Fortunately, there is a recipe, and I am sharing that recipe based upon my 15 years of government service in the Fraud Division of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., which is the office administering the reward program. I have also written the definative insider's book guiding you step by step in receiving a significant monetary reward for reporting fraud. It is the one book you need to navigate through government reward programs. 

This website provides additional valuable information and up to the minute updates, and it shows you how you might ask me to confidentially review your potential reward claim to see if my team of lawyers can represent you. (See the link "Do I have a case?")
