Federal whistleblower statutes play a critical role in the government\u2019s efforts to protect the public and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). These statutes protect government employees, employees in the private sector, and others who choose to come forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, compensation awards issued under federal whistleblower statutes can be substantial. For example, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issues whistleblower awards starting at $100,000 to $300,000<\/a>, but it has issued numerous awards in the tens of millions\u2014and even hundreds of millions\u2014of dollars over the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
