Can I submit my whistleblower tip anonymously?

Question
Can I submit my whistleblower tip anonymously?
Answer

Yes. You can file your Form TCR anonymously, with or without a lawyer's help. Because the Commission may need to contact you for more information, and because ongoing cooperation while the Commission is investigating a matter is a factor in determining any award amount, you should provide some means of contact, such as an email address or telephone number. Also, there are detailed requirements for making an award claim anonymously. Rules 165.3(c), 165.4(b), 165.7(c)

If you have any questions about filing anonymously, the Commission strongly encourages you to contact the Whistleblower Office by sending an email to [email protected] or calling the Whistleblower Hotline at 1-866-873-5675 before you file.
