National Report Military Fraud Day is celebrated on July 2. National Report Military Fraud Day brings awareness to the amount of fraud against the military and teaches the public how to obtain a monetary reward for reporting it. Read news here.
Ten percent of military spending is lost due to fraud.* Because the Department of Defense is spending over $500 billion a year,** that means over $50 billion a year in military spending is lost to fraud. It's no wonder why we have a national economy crisis!
That's also why Congress authorized the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pay whistleblower rewards up to 30 percent of the amount it recovers based upon whistleblowers reporting fraud by any government contractor under any program, such as the military, DOD, Homeland Security, and Medicare.
Statistics for the DOJ whistleblower reward program***
National Report Military Fraud Day started in 2018. It was formed by Joel Hesch, a whistleblower attorney who spent over 15 years working in Department of Justice whistleblower reward office. While at DOJ, Mr. Hesch helped obtained over $1.2 billion in recoveries back for the government from those cheating the government and paid out hundred of millions in rewards to whistleblowers. Mr. Hesch formed his own law firm and now exclusively represents whistleblowers nationwide in filing for rewards for reporting fraud against the government, including government contractor fraud.
Free e-books addressing military fraud:
To help whistleblowers properly report fraud against the military, Mr. Hesch wrote a free e-book, available at this release or at the official web page for the national day. The free e-book addresses fraud against the military or homeland security. The free e-book also contain his personal contact information so that you can ask Mr. Hesch incomplete confidence to review a potential reward case. Mr. Hesch also has a website that explains what steps are necessary to be eligible for a whistleblower reward.

How to report military fraud and received a monetary reward?
There are two very different ways of reporting military fraud, with two very different results.
1. File for a Reward under the DOJ Whistleblower Reward Program Read all the latest news.
The first way to report military fraud is to have a whistleblower attorney, such as Mr. Hesch, help blow the whistle under the Department of Justice (DOJ) reward program, which pays whistleblower rewards of between 15% to 30% of the amount DOJ recovers.
When a person reports military fraud under the DOJ program, the government must open an investigation and inform the attorney of the results. Thus, applying for a reward through a whistleblower attorney is the only way to ensure an investigation takes place (rather than just calling an agency hotline). Today, over three-fourths of the government's fraud cases are DOJ whistleblower reward cases. Thus, the government is counting on whistleblowers to bring fraud cases to DOJ and receive a reward in the process.
2. Report fraud to the Department of Defense
The second way to report government contractor fraud is to report it directly to the affected military agency or the Department of Defense (DOD). Read this for more information.
Here's how to report military fraud directly to the DOD.
First, you can call a DOD hotline at (800) 424-9098.

Second, you can fill out a form on the DOD website, known as a Hotline Complaint. That web page describes what you can report and what not to report using the Hotline Complaint form. It also allows you to report the fraud anonymously.
There are a few downsides by reporting the fraud to the DOD or specific military agency and not by filing for a reward with the Department of Justice. First, there is no reward. Second, the agency does not have to open an investigation. Third, the agency does not have to tell you the results of any investigation. Nevertheless, there are times when it makes sense to report fraud directly to the agency through its website or by calling its hotline.
Other National Days for Reporting Fraud for a Whistleblower Reward:
There are several other national days for obtaining a whistleblower reward for reporting fraud against the government, including:
National Report IRS Fraud Day April 10
National Report Medicare Fraud Day September 12
National Whistleblower Reward Day February 20
