How will I get compensated for my role in this case?

If a case is settled or successfully litigated, the reporting party who initiated the lawsuit is entitled to a “reporting party’s portion,” which is a portion of the government’s recovery. The reporting party’s portion amount depends on the involvement of the reporting party, the government and the ultimate resolution of the case.
If the government intervenes, the reporting party is entitled to between 15% and 25% of the proceeds. If the government declines, the law increases the reporting party’s share to between 25% to 30% of the government’s recovery.
However, the court may significantly reduce or eliminate the reporting party’s portion if the reporting party was an architect of the fraud or substantially participated in it. If the reporting party is ultimately convicted of criminal conduct related to the allegations, they must be dismissed from the case and cannot share in the proceeds at all.
Importantly, a reporting party will not collect any portion of a reporting party’s portion until the government resolves the case and receives its funds. There is no provision for payment to the reporting party while the case is ongoing.
