Bill overview
The Administrative False Claims Act of 2021 modifies existing laws related to fraud against the federal government. It increases the dollar amount that can be handled administratively for false claims, allowing for settlements up to $1 million instead of $150,000. The bill also delegates more authority to the Attorney General and Assistant Attorneys General, and clarifies how recovered costs from investigations and prosecutions should be distributed. Furthermore, it updates reporting requirements for the Inspector General and streamlines the process for handling claims by allowing for referrals to board of contract appeals.
