# Lifeview Group Settles FCA Allegations on DoD Contract

Lifeview Group, Inc. has agreed to a **$5.06 million** settlement resolving allegations under the False Claims Act (FCA) related to misrepresentations about meeting the AbilityOne Program's direct labor hour ratio on a Department of Defense Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) contract. This case, centered in Detroit, Michigan, underscores heightened government enforcement on contractor compliance with program eligibility certifications, particularly those involving employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Procurement professionals should note the increasing FCA exposure tied to certification accuracy beyond traditional contract disputes.

- The settlement highlights the critical importance of accurate and verifiable certifications for AbilityOne Program eligibility in federal contracts.
- Agencies and contractors involved in DoD EITS and similar programs must ensure rigorous compliance and documentation to mitigate FCA risks.
- This development signals intensified scrutiny by federal investigative bodies including U.S. Attorney's Offices and Inspectors General, emphasizing accountability in labor-related contract provisions.
- Contractors should evaluate internal controls and compliance programs related to labor hour reporting and program eligibility to avoid potential FCA liabilities.
