The False Claims Act is designed to protect the government from fraud by allowing whistleblowers to bring lawsuits on its behalf. It encourages individuals to come forward with information about fraudulent activities by offering them a share of any recovered funds. The law imposes penalties on companies or individuals who make false claims for payment from the government. It does not protect employers from whistleblowers making false accusations.
