KCII News spoke with Senator Chuck Grassley about some of his highlights of 2023. “Something that was announced last week, that goes back to legislation I passed thirty-five years ago. The False Claims Act made very clear that about two billion seven-hundred million dollars was collected of fraudulently taken money, by a bill that I got passed a long time ago. So over the course of the thirty-five-year history of that bill, the False Claims Act, we have brought in about seventy-five billion dollars of fraudulently taken money.” Grassley introduced the False Claims Amendments Act of 2023 to build up the government’s most potent tool to fight fraud. The bill ensures those who knowingly defraud the government cannot escape liability in cases where the government has made recurring payments on a fraudulent claim.
