Fraudulent Use of Government Grants
The U.S. government recognizes the importance of distributing financial aid to people and organizations whose work benefits our country as a whole. However, it can be very competitive to get this money. Thus, if someone commits fraud in order to get this financial help or uses it in fraudulent manner, it is a very serious offense.
Of course, the national government cannot regulate every use of its grant money after it is awarded. Therefore, it relies on concerned citizens to report individuals and organizations that misuse grant money. If you believe that you have witnessed the fraudulent use of government grants, you should contact a Qui Tam attorney from Tycko & Zavareei, LLP today at 202-973-0900.
Groups Eligible for Government Grants
The government does not always have the time or resources to conduct important research or perform other acts of public service. It will set requirements for people and organizations to meet, and it will then award the best candidate with financial backing for their work. Groups eligible for government grants include:
- State and local governments
- Native American governments
- Public housing authorities
- Public and private education institutes
- Non-profit organizations
- Small businesses
- Individuals
Additionally, once a group wins a grant, it must use it according to the grant’s requirements. If they are not followed, it is fraud against the government. You should talk to a Qui Tam lawyer today if you suspect this fraud.
