Whistleblower Protection

We are currently investigating potential fraud claims related to the CARES Act of March 27, 2020. The CARES Act is a $2 trillion stimulus package that includes bailouts, grants, loans, and other payments to businesses as part of the United States government’s response to the novel coronavirus. Following the 2008/2009 financial crisis, the United States implemented similar programs, including TARP and HAMP. Several of the big businesses that received those payments did so through fraud against the government. It is likely that some of the companies receiving the $2 trillion in the CARES Act will also commit fraud. In order to obtain CARES Act money, corporations will need to meet certain conditions. If those companies lie about meeting those conditions, that is fraud. Those companies will also have certain obligations, including to their workers, if they receive those funds. If they lie about satisfying those conditions, that is also fraud. The False Claims Act is an incredibly powerful tool to blow the whistle on corporate fraud used to obtain CARES Act money and defraud the government and American taxpayers. Whistleblowers who come forward and help the government expose corporate fraud and recover ill-gotten gains are eligible to recover between 15-30 percent of the funds.

Experienced Whistleblower Attorneys

Many employees who encounter fraud in the workplace choose to blow the whistle, viewing this course as their civic duty and the only ethical choice. It is also true that if you come forward to put a stop to fraud, you might be entitled to a whistleblower reward, a well-deserved share of the government’s recovery. If you are considering making a claim and seeking whistleblower protection, contact Loevy & Loevy to discuss your case with our knowledgeable attorneys.

A Rare Opportunity to Do Well By Doing Good

Whistleblower rewards can be substantial. In the last decade alone, whistleblowers under the U.S. False Claims Act have recovered over $10,000,000,000 for the United States and received over $1,600,000,000 in reward money.

Protections Against Retaliation

State and Federal False Claims Acts prohibit whistleblower retaliation and provide meaningful remedies if the employer doesn’t abide, such as:

• Double back pay
• Emotional distress
• Punitive damages

If you involve an attorney early enough, we may be able to achieve an injunction, stopping the retaliation before it has a chance to cause more serious harm to your career.
