Government Fraud Enforcement: Higher Penalties and Faster Administrative Action.

This law strengthens the government's ability to quickly pursue fraud and the concealment of financial obligations owed to federal agencies. It significantly raises the monetary limit for cases that can be resolved administratively (up to $1 million), speeding up enforcement. It also extends the time the government has to initiate proceedings against those who attempt to avoid paying their dues.
Key points
The limit for fraud cases handled administratively by agencies increases from $150,000 to $1,000,000, allowing faster penalties for larger amounts without a full court trial.
The statute of limitations is extended, giving the government up to 10 years to initiate action after a violation occurs.
It clarifies enforcement against individuals or entities that conceal or improperly avoid paying money owed to the government ("reverse false claims").
