Reverse Mortgage Lender Settles for $89 Million in Whistleblower Case

Recently, a large reverse mortgage lender settled a whistleblower case alleging violations of the False Claims Act and Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). The lender allegedly sold reverse mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) mortgage insurance program and then allegedly collected interest payments from the FHA under that coverage. However, the government claimed the lender was not entitled to those payments having allegedly failed to comply with numerous FHA disclosure requirements when the mortgages were booked.

Whistleblower Sandra Jolley reported her findings of the lender’s alleged failure to disclose and overcharging the FHA to government authorities in accordance with the whistleblower provision of the FIRREA. Jolly commits her career to being an advocate and consultant for estates of individuals who took out reverse mortgages in their lifetime. For her work and report, Jolly received $1.6 million as part of the settlement.
