Qui Tam is a provision of the Federal Civil False Claims Act, which essentially protects the government against fraudulent activity by enabling those who are aware of any fraud to file a claim on the government's behalf. The False Claims Act has provisions that allow those who file Qui Tam lawsuits to receive some of the money the government recovers if the suit is successful.
If you are aware of any fraud against the government, you may be entitled to a reward by filing a lawsuit on the government's behalf.

Why Should I file a Qui Tam Lawsuit?
The government does not have the resources to verify whether all organizations/entities that receive government funding are using that money legitimately. Many people take advantage of this fact and commit fraud against the country, costing the government and American taxpayers billions of dollars each year.
The Qui Tam provision exists to encourage those who discover fraud against the government to bring it to light by rewarding them monetarily. The False Claims Act has provisions that will allow the whistleblower to receive a percentage of the money the government recovers as a sort of reward if the claim is successful. This percentage is usually between 15 and 30 percent. Private citizens have recovered almost $1 billion in rewards by filing Qui Tam lawsuits.
Other reasons to file a Qui Tam claim include:
The False Claims Act has provisions aimed at preventing employers from retaliating against whistleblowers for attempting to expose their unscrupulous activities. If such retaliation does occur, the False Claims Act allows the whistleblower to be awarded monetary compensation for damages sustained as a result.
Filing Your Qui Tam Lawsuit
The False Claims act allows only the first person to file a Qui Tam lawsuit to recover the reward money regardless of who uncovered the fraud, so it is important that you be the first to file the suit if you have incriminating information.
