Monetary Rewards for Whistleblowers –
Wherever you Live
Rewarding your courage
The United States has the strongest and most effective whistleblower laws in the world, with more successful cases than every other country combined. The most innovative feature of these qui tam laws is that citizens who report crime and misconduct can qualify for large monetary rewards.
You can receive a reward regardless of where you live and where you maintain your citizenship. Thousands of people in more than 80 countries in all regions have reported critical information to US authorities – and they have received tens of millions of dollars in rewards for their contributions.
Under most laws, you can receive 10-30 percent of the fines and penalties collected by US authorities. One program, on ocean pollution, pays whistleblowers up to 50 percent.
How You Can Benefit
If your information leads to a successful prosecution or enforcement action, U.S. laws guarantee you will be compensated. These rewards are a way of saying “Thank you” for taking brave and ethical action to report misconduct in the public interest while others remain silent.
