Florida State False Claims Act

There are several programs available depending on your situation. And in some instances, whistleblowers may be able to use multiple reward laws or programs.

Federal laws provide a broad scope of protection and opportunities for whistleblowers, but the Florida False Claims Act specifically targets fraud within state-funded programs, such as Medicaid. But it also applies to multiple types of frauds beyond healthcare-related crimes. Our Florida whistleblower attorneys are well-versed in the nuances of this state-specific legislation, ensuring comprehensive legal support for those exposing fraud at the state level.

If a the state of Florida intervenes in a case, a whistleblower might receive an award ranging from 15% to 25%. Without state intervention, the award could range from 25% to 30%. Note: if there’s evidence that the whistleblower was involved in planning or initiating the violation, this may lead to a reduction in the award.
