Delta Air Lines agreed to pay $8.1 million over allegations it violated the False Claims Act by exceeding employee compensation limits it agreed to when taking federal pandemic aid money.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the settlement in a press release Tuesday. The violation stems from Delta awarding compensation to corporate officers and employees that exceeded limits the company agreed to as part of the Department of the Treasury’s Payroll Support Program (PSP).
