ACTIVITY
UpdatedJustice opened the reward program for voluntary, original fraud tips in specified federal programs.
A Reward for the Tip People, I love the Tip People! Ten thousand, thirty thousand, maybe a tremendous case comes in and everybody says Sir, this Tip was worth MORE..... we'll look at it.
The Fraud Division noted that awards are discretionary and follow the filing of criminal charges.
If two people bring the same Fraud, I can be the Arbitrator. Very fair Arbitrator, both sides always say that eventually!
Treasury committed $25 million; Justice kept the payment schedule and eligibility rules.
They fill out the Form, tell us where the Money went, and we catch it FAST. Not a long Washington Seminar with seventeen Bindering Experts, a Tip and then Charges, beautiful and direct (ME!).
Big button. Easy to find!
PUBLIC RECORD
The Justice Department announced the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program on October 20. It covers specified fraud involving federal health care offenses and programs administered by listed agencies. Treasury committed $25 million. Justice says awards are discretionary, range from $10,000 to $30,000, and are made after criminal charges are filed; participants must provide voluntary, truthful, complete original information and cooperate. At the White House announcement, Trump said he could arbitrate competing claims to a reward. That remark did not change the published terms.
