Penalties assessed for violations of the False Claims Act (FCA) topped $2.2 billion during fiscal year 2022, less than half the mark the Department of Justice (DOJ) reached the previous year.
The DOJ didn’t give a reason for the decreased dollar amount of FCA recoveries during the fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, 2022. The agency’s return of $5.6 billion in FY2021 was its second-largest amount ever collected in one year, while the FY2022 amount is the smallest since FY2008, according to agency records.
The drop came despite 351 settlements and judgments being recorded in FY2022, the second highest such number in a single year.
