Whistleblower Rewards: How They Work
Whistleblowers (known as “relators”) are awarded a percentage of the money recovered by the government in a qui tam lawsuit. Phillips & Cohen has earned their clients more than $1 billion in whistleblower rewards.
Whistleblowers may be entitled to significant monetary rewards for reporting fraud and financial misconduct through qui tam lawsuits as well through submissions to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) whistleblower program and a similar whistleblower program at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — if the government collects money through litigation or enforcement actions as a result of the whistleblower information. US laws offer whistleblowers in certain types of cases a percentage of the money recovered by the government.
