Even though he \u2062is stepping \u2062down\u2064 after \u200bnearly 50 years of \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">public service<\/a>, Biden will access various benefits that exceed \u200bthose of an average retiree. This includes a substantial pension,which is projected to be \u2062over $413,000,significantly higher than his \u200dcurrent presidential salary of $400,000. The article emphasizes the exclusive nature of \u200cthe former president club, especially following the recent passing of former President Jimmy Carter, leaving \u2064only four other living ex-presidents. This transition marks the end of Biden&#8217;s official public service, but it ensures\u200c continued financial\u200b and personal benefits reflective of his long career in politics. The article also hints at future\u2064 political implications, mentioning\u2063 the next presidential inauguration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">What benefits Biden will receive as an ex-president<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1936054\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Biden<\/a> is stepping away from nearly 50 years of public service next week, but he will still receive benefits not afforded to the average retiree. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Exiting the Oval Office brings ex-presidents into one of the world&rsquo;s most exclusive clubs, with there being just four other living ex-presidents left after former President Jimmy Carter died late last year.

Biden&rsquo;s protection detail will decrease when he leaves office, as sitting presidents have far more protection than former presidents.<\/p>\n<p>This law reversed a previous law that limited Secret Service protection for former presidents and their families to 10 years if they served after 1997. Starting with former President George W. Bush, all future former presidents receive Secret Service protection for the rest of their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Security around former presidents varies according to their threat levels and public exposure. The toughest measures are typically taken in the immediate aftermath of their leaving office.<\/p>\n<p>Ex-presidents can also do away with their protections if they so wish. Former President Richard Nixon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1985\/03\/13\/us\/nixon-dropping-protection-by-secret-service.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">relinquished<\/a> his Secret Service protection in 1985, 11 years after he quit the office, and he is still the only president to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Former presidents are also entitled to medical treatment in military hospitals, which they pay for at rates set by the Office of Management and Budget. Presidents can <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">additionally buy health insurance<\/a> under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of day-to-day life, a former president can do pretty much whatever they please, but Biden hasn&rsquo;t indicated what exactly he will do. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/life-ex-president-leaving-office\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Immediately<\/a> after former President Barack Obama left office, he took a vacation to Palm Springs, California, and then the British Virgin Islands with his family.<\/p>\n<p>Save for President-elect Donald Trump, ex-presidents typically escape the public eye and become more private in their day-to-day lives. For example, Bush Jr. took up painting when he moved back to Texas and has rarely engaged in public, political events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When Biden moved out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/despite-denials-joe-biden-was-involved-with-hunters-wheeling-and-dealing\/\" title=\"Despite Denials, Joe Biden Was Involved With Hunter\u2019s Wheeling And Dealing\">vice presidential residence<\/a> at the Naval Observatory in 2017, he and first lady Jill Biden rented a home in McLean, Virginia, in the Washington, D.C., suburbs until 2020.
