Presidential Allowance Modernization Act of 2025

The Presidential Allowance Modernization Act of 2025 increases annual financial benefits for former U.S. Presidents and their surviving spouses. It sets a $200,000 annual annuity and a $200,000 annual allowance for former Presidents (replacing prior rates), and raises the surviving spouse allowance from $20,000 to $100,000 per year. Both the annuity and allowance for former Presidents will adjust annually for inflation using Social Security's cost-of-living formula. The allowance for former Presidents may be reduced if their income exceeds $400,000, but the reduction is structured to ensure the allowance remains sufficient for security costs.
