The False Claims Act is codified as 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-33. Section 3729 sets forth anti-fraud requirements of the Act, and 31 U.S.C. 3731 includes the provisions related to filing a qui tam lawsuit.
The qui tam provision of the Federal False Claims Act (FCA), or “Lincoln Law,” empowers whistleblowers (also known as a qui tam relator) who have firsthand knowledge of frauds or violations against the government to report them to the appropriate officials.
What does qui tam mean? The word qui tam is pronounced “kee tam,” or often also pronounced as “kwee tam,” which means “in the name of the king.”
A complaint, known as a qui tam action, is confidentially filed under seal in federal district court following the federal rules of Civil Procedure. At the same time, a copy of the action with written disclosure statement of substantially all material evidence must be confidentially served to the U.S. Attorney General.
