On February 7, 2023, the Department of Justice issued the False Claims Act (FCA) recovery statistics for fiscal year 2022. While the $2.2 billion recovered by the Department and qui tam relators was down from the prior year, 2022 saw a record number of new FCA matters initiated. Underscoring the flurry of FCA activity, there were 351 settlements and judgments in 2022, the second-highest number recorded in a fiscal year.
In an Expert Analysis article published in Law360, C&M attorneys analyze what the 2022 fiscal year recovery statistics reveal about potential FCA enforcement trends in the year ahead.
