Georgia qui tam cases have many complex rules that whistleblowers must follow.

For instance, Georgia qui tam cases must be approved by the Georgia Attorney General before they are filed.

Qui tam whistleblower lawsuits must also be filed under seal. This means your complaint must remain secret and confidential. It cannot be disclosed to anyone except the government and your attorney. If you violate the seal by telling the media or someone else about your case, your case can be dismissed.

Georgia whistleblowers are often concerned about retaliation.

Qui tam retaliation occurs when an employer seeks revenge upon you for making a qui tam complaint or opposing government fraud.

Georgia's Taxpayer Protection False Claims Act has strong whistleblower anti-retaliation protection provisions. These laws make it illegal to discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, or harass a qui tam whistleblower who complains about or attempts to stop government fraud.

To receive protection against qui tam retaliation, you must prove:

1. That you engaged in a protected whistleblower activity;
2. That the individual who retaliated against you knew about your protected whistleblower activity; and,
3. That the retaliation against you was motivated, at least in part, by your protected whistleblower activity.

It is critical that a Georgia qui tam whistleblower come forward with their information as soon as possible. Acting quickly is the key to preventing retaliation and maximizing your whistleblower reward.
