At the Federal Bar Association’s (FBA) Annual Qui Tam Conference on February 20, 2025, Department of Justice (DOJ) representatives Michael Granston (Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Commercial Litigation) and Jamie Yavelberg (Director of the Fraud Section in the Civil Division) discussed enforcement priorities for the False Claims Act (FCA), including Medicare Advantage, cybersecurity, and pandemic fraud, and emphasized the continuing focus on FCA enforcement. Despite the Trump administration hitting “pause” on FCPA enforcement, FCA enforcement is here to stay.

We lay out the impacts of their comments at the conference and what it means for enforcement priorities by the DOJ in this Reed Smith Client Alert.
