False Claims Act

The False Claims act is a law that stops people from taking money from the government that they are not supposed to have. It's like when you are a kid and you are only allowed to have a certain amount of candy from the store, but if you try to take more candy than you should, your parents will punish you. The False Claims act is like this for the government - if someone takes money from the government that they are not allowed to have, the government will punish them.
