The Commission's Whistleblower Program Rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission proposes amendments to its whistleblower program rules to address related actions and award determinations. The proposal would allow awards for related actions where alternative programs offer meaningfully lower payouts or lack comparability, regardless of which agency has the more direct connection to the case. Additionally, the Commission seeks to clarify that it may use its discretion to increase award amounts based on dollar considerations but prohibits using that authority to decrease awards.
