Are awards granted in connection with only certain orders?

Question
Are awards granted in connection with only certain orders?
Answer

Yes, only certain orders are eligible for payout of an award. One category is orders from Commission enforcement actions that result in monetary sanctions over $1 million, known as "Covered Actions." For those orders, the Commission posts Notices of Covered Actions on the Whistleblower Program website that identifies the orders and indicates the due date for award applications related to the order. The second category is orders obtained by other authorities in actions that are related to a successful Commission action and are based on information provided by a CFTC whistleblower, known as "Related Actions." The Commission does not post notices about Related Actions.
