 The law includes a "qui tam" provision that allows people who are not affiliated with the government, called "relators" under the law, to file actions on behalf of the government (informally called "whistleblowing" especially when the relator is employed by the organization accused in the suit).Persons filing under the Act stand to receive a portion (15-30 percent, depending on certain factors) of any recovered damages.As of 2019, over 71 percent of all FCA actions were initiated by whistleblowers.
