The False Claims Act is federal law that allows a person to bring a claim alleging that a contractor to the federal government is committing fraud. This law is sometimes called the “Lincoln Law.” People who file claims on behalf of the government are eligible to receive as much as 25% of the fines levied in the case. Usually, the people who file under this law have insider knowledge about the alleged fraudulent conduct. The reason the False Claims Act is referred to as the “Lincoln Law” is that it has its origins in the graft and corruption that often took place during the Civil War among federal government contractors.
