How to use these numbers
What they are. DOJ’s Civil Division publishes, for each fiscal year (October 1 to September 30), the amount of settlements and judgments in False Claims Act matters, including common-law recoveries arising from those investigations, and counts of new matters. The “all agencies” column is DOJ’s overview total. The HHS column covers matters in which the Department of Health and Human Services was the primary client agency. The qui tam column counts new whistleblower suits. E22
What they are not. They are not an estimate of fraud, a measure of money stolen, a count of proven violations, criminal losses, or cash collected. Most civil resolutions include no determination of liability. E22E23
Do not add the columns. HHS-primary-client matters are a subset of the all-agency total. Case-level amounts elsewhere in the investigation — criminal fines, submitted claims, paid claims — are different measures and may already be inside these annual figures.
Coverage change. Historically, DOJ’s non-qui-tam figures did not include matters handled separately by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices. Beginning October 1, 2019 (fiscal year 2020), they do. Comparisons across that line should say so. E22
Vintage. All rows come from one publication — the fiscal year 2025 edition covering October 1, 1986 through September 30, 2025. DOJ can revise earlier years between editions; small differences from older publications are expected.
Arithmetic. The 25-year totals are KPSGILL.com’s sums of DOJ’s annual figures, not totals announced by DOJ. Fiscal year 2025’s $6,888,096,266 is the largest annual figure in the series; DOJ describes the year’s total as the highest in the statute’s history and its 1,297 qui tam filings as a single-year record.
