What is the New Jersey False Claims Act (FCA)?
The False Claims Act (FCA) is a New Jersey law that allows individuals with evidence of fraud against the State to sue, on behalf of the State, to recover triple the amount that has been defrauded from it. As compensation for their efforts, the person who files suit, known as the Relator, can receive an award, typically between 15% and 30% of the total amounts recovered.
