False Claims Amendments Act of 2023
HR 6214, the False Claims Amendments Act of 2023, amends the False Claims Act to strengthen fraud enforcement against government contractors. It changes how "materiality" is determined in fraud cases, preventing government decisions to accept payments despite fraud from automatically blocking claims. The bill also expands whistleblower protections to cover former employees reporting fraud. Finally, it requires a GAO report within 18 months assessing the False Claims Act's effectiveness since 1986, including recovery amounts and enforcement challenges.
