The False Claims Act's qui tam provisions cover government fraud beyond health care, defense contractor, and purchasing fraud. In fact, the False Claims Act incentivizes and enlists the support of whistleblowers across the nation who have uncovered or witnessed a government fraud in a wide variety of areas that result in the government being overcharged for goods or services. Other fraudulent schemes covered by the False Claims Act include:

• HUD fraud (including mortgage and Section 8 fraud)
• GSA fraud
• Stark Law anti-kickback fraud
• Disaster assistance loan fraud
• Agricultural subsidy fraud
• Federal grant fraud
