Address These Questions

What is the assertion of fraudulent activity?

When and where did the event(s) take place? Please include dates, time, and frequency.

Are there any other persons who might provide information or who witnessed the event? If so, what are their names, positions, and contact information?

Is there evidence that can be examined or documentation that can be reviewed?

How do you know about the alleged fraudulent action? Did you see it occur? Did you see documentation indicating it occurred? Did you hear about it from someone else?

Please include supporting documentation.

Do I qualify for whistleblower protection?

Utah Code § 67-21-3 prohibits public employers from taking adverse action against their employees for reporting government waste or violations of law in good faith to the appropriate authorities. A public entity employee, public body employee, legislative employee, or judicial employee is presumed to have communicated in good faith if they have given written notice or otherwise formally communicated the conduct to the WFRC Fraud Hotline.

Will my identity be protected?

The identity of the complainant is considered protected information under the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) and will be kept confidential if requested by the complainant.
