5. Travel Expenses
According to a 1968 law, the GSA lets the former head of state access travel funds. This law states that the former president and two of their staff members will have their travel and all of the related expenditures covered by the state.
Now, don’t think that when we say travel expenses, we refer to traveling for pleasure, because this is not the case. The travel must be connected to the former president’s capacity as an official representative of the United States government in order to be compensated.
According to the Former President Act, the former head of state can use a military aircraft for official purposes. Sometimes they can take advantage of this for personal purposes, but only if it is a matter of security.
