MJH Healthcare Holdings, LLC, along with its affiliates, has agreed to pay over $2 million to resolve allegations it violated the False Claims Act by improperly claiming discounted postage rates from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on April 17, 2025. The settlement stems from a qui tam lawsuit filed by whistleblower John Burke, a former MJH employee, who will receive $341,092 as his share of the recovery.
Under the False Claims Act’s qui tam provisions, whistleblowers like Burke can sue entities defrauding government programs on behalf of the United States and receive a portion of any recovered funds. The DOJ intervened in this case, which was filed in the District of New Jersey.
The government alleges that between October 2021 and June 2024, MJH submitted 40 mailings using the USPS periodicals rate. This discount is reserved for publications where over 50% of recipients requested the material. According to the DOJ, MJH falsely certified eligibility by including names from unverified third-party lists and counting requests older than three years, violating USPS rules. These actions allegedly allowed MJH to underpay postage by improperly qualifying for lower rate.
“The United States relies on individuals and companies doing business with it to accurately report what they owe the government. When they do not, we will not hesitate to take appropriate steps to protect the public fisc,” said U.S. Attorney Alina Habba.
