Miles today Once you have identified the case that you believe your information has contributed to, you are required to fill out and submit Form WB-APP to the Office of the Whistleblower to claim you SEC whistleblower award. This must be done within a period of 90 calendar days. You can send the completed form via email to [email protected], by fax at (703) 813-9322, or by mail to the address provided on OWB's website. If the deadline for submission falls on a weekend or holiday, it will be extended to the next business day. Please ensure that you send the Form WB-APP using only one method of transmission. Submitting duplicate applications through multiple channels may cause delays in processing your award claim. The SEC strongly encourages individuals to carefully evaluate whether their tip contains the same accusations and individuals as the incident they are applying for. In September 2020, the Commission implemented revisions to the rules, allowing them to disqualify an individual from participating in the whistleblower program if they submit three or more baseless tips. Section D of Form Form WB-APP mandates that you provide the case name and notice number pertaining to the Covered Action you are seeking an award for. Failure to identify a covered action may result in your application being deemed incomplete, and you may not be considered for an award. OWB will confirm receipt of Form WB-APPs via email correspondence. When submitting your award application, it is important to address the factual aspects related to your claim. For instance, if you are an individual holding a position as an officers or directors you may not be eligible for an SEC whistleblower award. If you fall under this category, you will need to provide an explanation to the SEC as to why you should not be excluded or how you meet the exception stated in Rule 21F-4(b). Another crucial point is to clearly state when (dates) you became aware of the misconduct. If there was a delay in reporting, it is necessary to include any relevant facts or circumstances that can help determine whether the delay was reasonable. Furthermore, the whistleblower rules allow for certain whistleblowers with culpability to still be eligible for an award. The Commission will take into account factors such as your role in the misconduct, your job responsibilities, and the extent of financial benefit you received from the violations. Failure to thoroughly address your involvement may result in OWB requesting additional information, which could potentially delay the processing of your SEC whistleblower award claim. Rule 21F-12(a)(3) excludes late additional submissions from being considered by the Claims Review Staff and Commission. This means that an SEC whistleblower must submit everything they believe is relevant to the Commission's assessment of the award claim within the 90-day timeframe. If further information is required to process the claim, OWB will reach out to the SEC whistleblower or their legal representative and request the necessary details. You will be informed when the Claims Review Staff issues a preliminary decision regarding your award claim, as stated in Rule 21F-10(d). Please be aware that OWB cannot provide updates on the status of your pending award application. It is important to note that, in accordance with Rule 21F-10(d), the Claims Review Staff cannot evaluate award claims until all appeals related to the matter have been completely resolved.
