On August 15, 2024, WLF filed a brief in an important False Claims Act case. The Seventh Circuit held that relators can sue under the FCA even when the federal fisc is not at risk. WLF’s brief explains how the Court’s decision in this case will affect other telecommunications programs, including those that provide services for hearing-impaired, low-income, and rural citizens. WLF’s brief also explains how the FCA’s history shows that it is solely aimed at protecting the federal fisc while discouraging parasitic suits.
