Makes it illegal to submit a falsified bill to a government agency.
The False Claims Act was enacted in 1863 in response to widely prevalent, massive, defense procurement fraud, in which defense contractors were billing the government for subpar services and goods. The False Claims Act allowed private citizens with knowledge of such fraud being perpetrated on the government, to come forward to share their knowledge in litigation against the fraudsters, and also share in the recovery of any money.

No. The US Court of Federal Claims is an Article I court, which makes it part of the Legislative Branch of government rather than the Judicial Branch. Congress established the US Court of Federal Claims in 1855 to hear many types of cases involving monetary claims against the United States. According to US Code (28 USC § 1491), the jurisdiction of the Court "is over claims for just compensation for the taking of private property, refund of federal taxes, military and civilian pay and allowances, and damages for breaches of contracts with the government." The Court is also authorized to consider cases against the US involving copyright and patent infringement, bid protests for government contracts, disputes from Native American Nations, and cases involving Vaccine Injury. The US Court of Federal Claims also serves the unique function of issuing advisory opinions to Congress, on request, regarding questions involving bills and resolutions.
