What whistleblower protections exist for SDVOSB fraud reporting?
Federal whistleblower statutes protect employees who report SDVOSB fraud. The False Claims Act allows employees to file qui tam lawsuits on the government's behalf and receive 15-30% of recovered funds. Employees are protected from retaliation including termination, demotion, or harassment. The SBA and VA OIGs have hotlines for confidential fraud reports. Whistleblowers who face retaliation may also file claims with the Department of Labor.
