Administrative False Claims Act of 2023

The Administrative False Claims Act of 2023 updates the process for how the federal government handles smaller-scale fraud cases. It increases the limit for fraud claims that can be resolved through administrative hearings—rather than the full federal court system—from $150,000 to $1 million. This change is intended to make it easier and more cost-effective for agencies to recover taxpayer money lost to fraud while allowing the government to recoup the specific costs of investigating and prosecuting these cases.
