On January 17, 2018, the New York/New Jersey Port Authority enacted its own vigorous False Claims Policy that punishes contractors who intentionally make material false statements about work they performed or goods they provided to get paid. The Policy incentivizes reporting of False Claims by offering up to 25% of the amount recovered to whistleblowers. The Policy can be found here. The Policy is one of six new integrity measures the Port Authority has enacted over the last six months to protect the substantial investments that it committed to in its 2017-2026 Capital Plan.
